O Jesus! Heavenly Physician,
raised aloft on the Cross to heal our wounds with Yours,
remember the bruises which You suffered
and the weakness of all Your Members
which were distended to such a degree
that never was there pain like Yours.
From the crown of Your Head
to the Soles of Your Feet
there was not one spot on Your Body that was not in torment,
and yet, forgetting all Your sufferings,
You continued to pray to Your Heavenly Father for Your enemies,
saying: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."
Through this great Mercy,
and in memory of this suffering,
grant that the remembrance of Your Most Bitter Passion
may effect in us a perfect contrition
and the remission of all our sins.
Amen.
