"Have mercy, O Lord, upon my pain! Hear my prayer, do not
punish me with Thy wrath. Not so harshly, but with tender
forgiveness cast your regard upon me. Do not condemn me to
the eternal fires of hell, Great God; never may I be in the
fires of Thy wrath."

"Thou dear Savior, while Thy disciples foolishly quarrel
because this woman would prepare Thy body with precious
ointment: Let me pour the tears from my own eyes upon Thy
head.

Penance and regret cut my sinner's hearth in two;
Let my teardrops bear a pleasing balm to Thee, O Jesus
Christ."
