OFFERINGS

O most sweet Jesus, who in your desire to redeem the world.

Deigned to be born, circumcised, mocked by the Jews.

To fall into the hands of your enemies,

through the treacherous kiss of Judas. To be bound

and brought to the place of sacrifice, like a meek lamb.

Brought before Caiaphas, Pilate and Herod

spat on and accused and condemned with false witnesses.

To be slapped and have your sacred body covered with wounds

from the cruel scourging.

To be crowned with thorns

Stripped of your garments, nailed and elevated on the cross

between two thieves, as if Thou were one of them.

Offered gall and vinegar to drink

and to be pierced in Thy side with a lance.

Deliver O Lord

the soul of ________________________from great sufferings

Through your most bitter passion

bring him to your glory and deliver him from the pains of hell

through the merits of your holy passion and death on the cross

so that he may be worthy to enter that kingdom

where you brought the good thief who was crucified with you

who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit

Forever.

AMEN
