RACCOLTA # 205
O God, who for the redemption of the world
didst will to be born amongst men, to be
circumcised, to be rejected by the Jews, to be
betrayed by the traitor Judas with a kiss, to be
bound with cords, to be led to slaughter as an
innocent lamb, to be shamelessly exposed to
the gaze of Annas, Caiphas, Pilate and Herod,
to be accused by false witnesses, to be
tormented by scourges and insults, defiled
with spitting, crowned with thorns, smitten
with blows, struck with a reed, blindfolded,
stripped of Thy garments, fastened to the
Cross with nails, lifted on the Cross, reckoned
among thieves, given gall and vinegar to drink
and wounded with a spear; do Thou O Lord,
by these Thy most holy sufferings, upon
which I unworthily meditate, and by Thy
Holy Cross and death deliver me from the
pains of hell, and vouchsafe to bring me

where Thou didst bring the penitent thief who
was crucified with Thee, Who with the Father
and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest, one
God, world without end. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be (five
times).
