livered out of the hand of my enemies, I may serve thee in holiness and justice all the days of my life. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary.

Hail, gracious wound, besprinkled with the Blood of the Right Foot of my Lord Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb who takes away the sins of the world! Make my feet, O Lord, like hart’s feet, that, with unwearied course, I may walk in the way of thy commandments, and ever seek out those things that are pleasing to thy divine will. Direct my steps in thy law, and in the works of thy commandments, that I may go from strength to strength, till I see the God of gods in Sion. Let thy Word be a lantern to my feet and a light to my paths, that, by my example, I may display the light also to my neighbours, to the end that thou, my God, before all things, and in all things, mayest be glorified now and for ever. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary.
IV.
Hail, adorable wound of the Left Foot of my Lord Jesus Christ, wetted all over with his purple Blood! Pluck my feet, O Lord, out of the snare that my enemies have laid for me. Keep my soul from falling, that I may not become a prey to my enemies. Let not the foot of pride come to me, nor my heart be exalted, nor my eyes lifted up; that I may not walk in wonderful things above me, but walk before thee at all times in the simplicity of my heart. Lead me, O Lord, in the paths of justice, and teach me thy ways, that I may know what is acceptable before thee at all times, and practise fully all that thou hast enjoined me. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary.
V.
Hail, most saving wound of the Heart and Side of my Lord Jesus Christ, inflicted by the cruel spear of the soldier, overflowing abundantly with Blood and Water, for the washing away of our sins! Wound, I beseech thee, my heart with the dart of thy love, that it may worship, reverence, and honour thee in all things and above all things, and for thy sake only, love all my neighbours with the love of Christian brotherhood. Cleanse my heart with thy most pure Blood and saving Water, that, purified from all stain of sin, I may merit to contemplate thee, my God and Saviour, whom only the clean of heart shall see, through all eternity. Amen. Our Father. Hail Mary.
TO CHRIST,
For obtaining devotion to his most sacred Wounds.
I.
O Jesus, sweetest Spouse
