"I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me."-S. John xii. 32.

LITANY.

BY Thy uplifting on the Cross,
By Thy bleeding Hands and Feet,

By all Thy Wounds,

By Thy agonising Thirst,
By Thy wasted Frame,

By Thy faintness and exhaustion,
By the parting of Thy garments,
By the gazing of the multitude,
By the derision of the thieves,
By the denial of Thy Power,
By all the pain and all the shame,
By the unceasing attraction of Thy Cross,

From thinking lightly of the least sin,
From refusing to be crucified with Thee,
From fainting under protracted trials,
From impatience under bodily sufferings,
From overeagerness for human sympathy,
From ever doubting Thy perfect sympathy,
Our FATHER, &c.

Most merciful
Jesus, &c.

Blessed Jesus, deliver me.

"Who His own Self bare our sins in His own Body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness, by Whose stripes ye were healed."-1 S. Pet. ii. 24.

LITANY.

BY Thy hanging on the Cross,

By Thy long hours of agony,
By Thy shrinking from the gaze of sinners,
By the laughter and the scorn,

By the mockings and revilings,
By Thy dying mercies,

By Thy breaking Heart,

By all Thy unknown sufferings,

By Thy forgiveness of Thine enemies,
By Thy acceptance of the Penitent Thief,
By Thy tender care for Thy Blessed Mother,
By Thy love which endured so much for us,

From forgetting that my sins crucified Thee,
From ceasing to gaze on Thee crucified,
From failing to trust in Thee,

From doubting Thy redeeming love,

From want of perseverance in weariness,
From inconsiderateness for other's trials,
Our FATHER, &c.

XI.

Blessed Jesus, deliver me.

Most merciful

Jesus, &c.

"And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross."-Phil. ii. 8.

LITANY.

BY the wrath of GOD upon Thee,
By Thy sinking Frame,

By Thine hours of darkness,
By Thy looking for death,
By Thy great and mighty cry,

Blessed

Jesus, &c.

By Thy conflict with the Prince of darkness,
By Thy Soul poured out unto death,
By Thy submission to the Angel of death,
By all the anguish of Thy Death,
By Thy obedience unto death,
By Thy Victory over death,
By Thy all-perfect finished Sacrifice,
In my last sore sickness,

In my hours of darkness,
In my dying agony,

In my last conflict with the Evil one,
In the hour when all help fails me,
In the moment that I go hence alone,
Our FATHER, &c.

XII.

Most merciful

Jesus, &c.

deliver me.

Blessed Jesus,

"And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His Mouth." -Isaiah liii. 9.

LITANY.

BY Thy fulfilment of all the Prophecies,
By Thy taking the sting from death,
By Thy Sacred Body in the stillness of death,
By Thy Five Wounds,

By Thy pierced Side,

By the outflowing of the Water and the Blood,
By Thy being wrapped in Grave-clothes,
By Thy being laid in the Sepulchre,

By Thy rest in the Grave,

By Thy going before us into Paradise,
By Thine awaiting Thy Resurrection,
By Thy Love which endured all for us,

Blessed Jesus, deliver me.

In the flight of my spirit to Thy Presence,
In the time of my appearing before Thee,
In the first sight of my sins in Thy Sight,
In the hour of Thy awful Judgment,
In the long waiting time in Paradise,
In the Great Resurrection Day,
Our FATHER, &c.

THE LITANY OF THE PASSION.

LORD, have mercy.

CHRIST, have mercy.

LORD, have mercy.
JESU, hear us.

JESU, graciously hear us.

O GOD the FATHER, of Heaven,

O GOD the SON, Redeemer of the world,
O GOD the HOLY GHOST,

HOLY TRINITY, One GOD,

JESU, SON of the Living GOD,

By Thy most holy Life and Conversation,
By Thy most bitter Passion and Death,
By Thy sorrow, and Thine Agony in the Gar-
den,

By Thy thrice repeated Prayer,

By Thy resignation of Thy Human Will,
By Thy Sweat of Blood,

By Thy harsh captivity,
By Thy bonds and stripes,

Have mercy upon me.

Most merciful

Jesus, &c.

By Thy Sacred Body buffeted and smitten,
By Thy mockings, and Thine ignominy,
By the spitting upon Thy Adorable Face,
By the false judgment pronounced on Thee by
Caiaphas,

By Thy setting at nought by Herod,

By the shameful stripping off Thy garments,
By Thy cruel scourging,

By Thy painful Crown of Thorns,

By Thy purple Robe,

By Thy most unjust condemnation,
By Thy bearing Thine own Cross,
By the tearing off Thy garments,

By the cruel stretching of all Thy Sacred
Limbs,

By Thy dread Crucifixion,

By the upraising of Thy Cross,

By the taunts and blasphemies of Thine enemies,

By Thy seven Words, and Thy Thirst,

By the woe of all Thy friends,

By the anguish of Thy Heart and of Thy
Body,

By Thy Tears and Prayers,

By the dropping of Thy most Precious Blood,
By Thy Patience and Humility,

By the Love of Thy Sweetest Heart,

By the Love wherewith Thou didst pray for
sinners,

By the Love wherewith Thou didst endure all
Thy torments and sorrows,

By the Love wherewith Thou didst will to die
a cruel death,

By the Love wherewith Thou didst will Thy Sacred Side to be opened with the lance,

Have mercy upon me.
