       death rendered so fervent, and which the glowing love of
       thy  Divinity  rendered  so  effectual;  beseeching  thee  to
       hear me through its virtue, and to deliver me from this
       affliction.  Wherefore  I  implore  thee,  with  thine  own
       intention and resignation, with the feelings of thine own
       heart  and  the  words  of  thy  sacred  lips,  saying:  Abba,
       Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice
       from  me;  nevertheless  not  what  I  will,  but  what  thou
       wilt. Amen.

            PRAYER OF ONE WHO IS SICK OR
                         AFFLICTED
       When  on  one  occasion  St.  Mechtilde  was  ill,  and  had
       poured out her complaint before our Lord, he said to her:

       Lay all thy pains in my Heart, and I will grant thee all
       the alleviation I have ever granted to any of my saints.
       And like as my Passion brought forth ineffable fruit, so if
       you  commend  your  sickness  to  me  it  shall  bring  forth
       increase of honour to the blessed, of merit to the just, and
       of forgiveness to sinners.
       O

              will this sickness [ or, this affliction] which thou
              hast sent me from thy paternal Heart in token of
       thy love, and I offer it to thee with thankfulness, in that
       same love wherein thou hast sent it upon me. Wherefore
       I  lay  all  my  pain  and  my  anguish  in  thy  most  sacred
       Heart, beseeching thee that thou wouldst deign to unite
       them  to  thine  own  most  bitter  Passion,  to  absorb  them
