       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
