Five Our Fathers and one Glory.
We beseech Thee, therefore, help Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
Second Mystery.
Next in the Garden of Olives, Jesus shed His blood for us in such quantity that it bathed the earth around. This took place at the sight of the ingratitude with which men would meet His love. Oh, let us then repent sincerely, because we have hitherto corresponded so illy with the innumerable benefits of Our God, and resolve to make good use of His graces and holy inspirations.
Five Our Fathers, etc.
We beseech, etc.
Third Mystery.
Next, in His cruel scourging, Jesus shed His blood, when His flesh was so torn that rivers of blood flowed from His body in every part, all of which He offered, all the time, to His eternal Father in payment of our impatience and our delicacy. How is it, then, we do not curb our anger and our self-love? Henceforth we will indeed try our very best to bear our troubles well, and, despising ourselves, to take peacefully the injuries which men may do us.
Five Our Fathers, etc.
We beseech, etc.
