When the clock strikes:
My Jesus! I love Thee: never permit me to offend Thee again, and let me never be separated from Thee.
In adverse circumstances:
Lord, since Thou hast so willed it, I will it also.
In time of temptation often repeat:
Jesus and Mary!
After having committed a fault or a sin:
My God! I repent of having offended Thee; O Infinite Goodness! I will do so no more.
If it was a grievous sin, confess it at once.
7. The Exercise of the Way of the Cross.
Before commencing to visit the Stations, let each one, kneeling before the high altar, make an act of contrition, and form the intention of gaining the indulgences, whether for himself or for the souls in purgatory. Then say:
Act of Contrition.
MY Lord Jesus Christ, Thou hast made this journey to die for me with love unutterable, and I have so many times unworthily abandoned Thee; but now I love Thee with my whole heart, and because I love Thee I repent sincerely for ever having offended Thee. Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany Thee on this journey. Thou dost go to die for love of me; I wish also, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of Thee. My Jesus, I will live and die always united to Thee.
