Prayer, or a brief remembrance of the sufferings of Christ

Rejoice, trembling head of our Lord Jesus Christ with all the power, tormented by the hair for our sake, crowned with thorns, beaten with a reed, and even sick to the brain! Rejoice, the dear face of our Savior, more red with kindness than all the sons of men, shining with the divine vision, desired by the angels and amazing to everyone, spat upon for our sake, covered with dishonor, beaten with the metacarpus, all blue, having neither appearance nor kindness! Rejoice, all-merciful eyes, brighter than the sun, whose vision attracts and touches all hearts, for our sakes drenched in tears and bleeding! Rejoice, divine nostrils, perceiving the stench of the spiritual fragrance, for our sake from the lawless lips of foul and vile vomit you endured the stench! Rejoice, honey-drinking lips and sweet throat, filled with milk and bile for our sake! Rejoice, most honorable ears, for for our sake you endured inscrutable reproach, blasphemy and dishonor! Rejoice, all-humble ye, innocent of sin, strangled for our sake and led with a rope to be crucified! Rejoice, most holy ridge, for our sake with the fierce speculator (executioners) scourges, beaten at the pillar and cut off even to the bones! Rejoice, Omnipotent and all-powerful hand and ramen, for the sake of painful knitting. Carrying the cross and stretching out on it! Rejoice, most meek Persians, more than Abraham's depths of confidants and others who are at rest, for the sake of unbearable passions and torments, we were embarrassed by horror and speculatory scourges, together with the backbone and belly of the one who endured! Rejoice, ever-living heart, wounded by deadly sorrows, sorrows and spears for our sake! Rejoice, all of you, pre-empowered innards, for our sake, languished beyond measure by bitter unnatural illnesses! Rejoice, glorious, rich rib, for our sake, with a military spear, even pierced to the heart and from there flowing out Blood and water, from which the life-giving font of the sevenfold Mysteries was built for our purification and sanctification! Rejoice in the veneration and all-worship of the knee, bowed to the ground in prayer and falling to the ground and stones under the Cross! Rejoice, veneration and all-worshipping nose, for our sake with nails to the Cross with your hands nailed! Rejoice, whole Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, crucified for us on the Cross among evildoers, wounded without mercy, lacking integrity from foot to head, dead and buried! Rejoice, priceless Blood from all the veins and compositions of the Savior, and mercilessly poured out for us from the very heart! Rejoice, most holy soul of Christ, dedicated to God the Father on the Cross for us with a mighty cry! In that tradition and this day I commend my soul to You, my Savior and Redeemer, and all my feelings and words, my advice and thoughts and all my body and soul use, my faith and life, the course and end of my life, the day and hour of my breathing, my repose and repose, and the resurrection of my soul and body, I entrust and pray: accept in the hand of Your Sovereign protection, Bless Thy crucified hand, preserve Thy wounds and deliver me from all evil; By Thy blood cleanse the multitude of my iniquities; With Your cross, like a spear, pierce my accursed heart, as if I would love nothing else besides You, my Life-Giver, and as if I would look at You crucified, compassionate and moved, by sin, like vile vomit, abhorring, cutting off my will, and even placing myself in Your Providence and trusting from there to receive what is useful; By Thy death put to death the soul-stricken passions of the body and grant correction to my evil and corrupted life, delighting me from future falls into sin, covering my infirmity from demons, passions and malice, and covering my infirmity from demons, passions and malice, and a comfortable saving path to You, my refuge and the land of my desires, guiding and relating to Your blessed sheep, and with them You, I glorify my Creator with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.
