And in supply of all that is lacking to my sorrow, I offer

thee that contrition which thy only begotten Son felt for
the sins of the whole world. And that I may, at least in
some degree, satisfy thee for the most grievous wrongs I
have done thee, I offer myself to thee, protesting my
readiness to suffer most willingly and gladly whatever
vengeance thou mayest be pleased to extract from me.
Fifthly: and whereas all my satisfaction falls infinitely
short of my debt to thee, I betake myself to the most
abundant treasury of the merits of Jesus Christ; and I
offer thee all the long Passion he endured from the first
moment of his Conception until he bowed his head upon
the cross and gave up the ghost. Moreover, I plunge and
hide all my sins and negligences in his most sacred

Wounds; beseeching thee that thou wouldst vouchsafe to

wash away all my stains in his most precious Blood, and
to inflame me with the fire of his love.
Sixthly: I most humbly ask pardon of all and every one
whom I have ever grieved or offended by word or deed,
and I declare myself ready to make full amends with my
own person, according to the measures of thy most exact
justice, for all the loss I have occasioned them in their
honour or in their substance. And I do from my heart
pardon and forgive every injury, insult, or wrong
whereby any person has offended me by word or deed,
even as our Lord Jesus Christ, while hanging upon the
cross, forgave his enemies and murderers, and prayed for
them to his Father. 229
