Opening Prayer:
O most
merciful Jesus, with a contrite heart and penitent
spirit, I bow down in profound humility before Thy
divine majesty. I adore Thee as my supreme Lord and
Master; I believe in Thee, I hope in Thee, I love Thee
above all things. I am heartily sorry for having
offended Thee, my Supreme and Only Good. I resolve to
amend my life, and although I am unworthy to obtain
mercy, yet the sight of Thy holy cross, on which Thou
didst die, inspires me with hope and consolation. I
will, therefore, meditate on Thy sufferings, and visit
the stations of Thy Passion in company with Thy
sorrowful Mother and my guardian angel, with the
intention of promoting Thy honor and saving my soul.
I desire to gain all the indulgences granted for this
holy exercise for myself and for the Poor Souls in
Purgatory. O merciful Redeemer, who has said, "And I, if
I be lifted from earth, will draw all things to Myself,"
draw my heart and my love to Thee, that I may perform
this devotion as perfectly as possible, and that I may
live and die in union with Thee. Amen.

Closing Prayer:
Almighty and eternal God, merciful Father, who hast given to the
human race Thy beloved Son as an example of humility, obedience,
and patience, to precede us on the way of life, bearing the
cross: Graciously grant us that we, inflamed by His infinite
love, may take up the sweet yoke of His Gospel together with the
mortification of the cross, following Him as His true disciples,
so that we shall one day gloriously rise with Him and joyfully
hear the final sentence: "Come, ye blessed of My Father, and
possess the kingdom which was prepared for you from the
beginning," where Thou reignest with the Son and the Holy Ghost,
and where we hope to reign with Thee, world without end. Amen.
-Saint
Francis of Assisi
