O
GENTLE goodness and amiable mercy of God,
which alone dost restrain the anger of the Prince,
King with clemency; shelter me beneath thy wings, that I
may be safe from the evils which threaten me, and which
my many and great negligences make me fear. Behold,
now the Creditor stands at the door, demanding from me
account of the life entrusted to me. Now the Exactor
claims from me the tribute of my time, and I dare not
appear before him, for I have not wherewithal to pay. O
Jesus, my Love, refuge of all in distress, appease thy
Father towards me. Speak for me a word in charity; say, I
will ransom him. O Jesus, my Love, who for me wast
harshly bound to the pillar and cruelly scourged, who

wast painfully crowned and scoffingly saluted; be thou
my Advocate and my Patron. Judea disowned thee for
her King, that I might have thee all my own. Do thou
quicken and refresh my soul now through thine own
unutterable sorrows and griefs, and may that most bitter
chastisement of our peace which the Father laid upon
thee acquit all my debts. Anoint and soothe all my senses
with the blood which flowed from thy most glorious
Head, and efface all their stains through the anguish of
thy most holy Body. May the most blameless use thou
didst make of all thy senses cover all my faults and
supply all my defects, that I may find all I want in thee,
who hast delivered thyself all for me. Amen. 174
