Sharing Christ's Passion
PRAYER.

During this week we call holy, dear Jesus, let me be mindful of what my redemption has cost You. Grant me true sorrow for my sins.

DURING Passiontide especially are we called upon to raise our hearts to Christ, to have keen feelings of sorrow and shame, of gratitude, of love and tender affection, and horror and anguish, at the review of those awful sufferings whereby our salvation has been purchased.

Let us pray God to give us the beauty of holiness, which consists in tender and eager affection toward our Lord and Savior.
