The Prayer, Deus, Qui Pro
Redemptione
O GOD, who to redeem the world didst
vouchsafe to be born amongst men, to be circumcised, rejected by the Jews,
betrayed by the traitor Judas with a kiss, to be bound with cords, and as an
innocent lamb to be led to the slaughter; who didst suffer thyself to be
shamelessly exposed to the gaze of Annas, Caiphas, Pilate and Herod; to be
accused by false witnesses, tormented by scourges and insults, crowned with thorns,
smitten with blows, defiled with spittings, to have thy divine countenance
covered, to be struck with a reed, to be stripped of thy clothes, nailed to and
raised high upon a Cross between two thieves, to be given gall and vinegar to
drink, and then pierced with a lance; do Thou, O LORD, by these most sacred
sufferings, which I, unworthy as I am, yet dare to contemplate, by thy holy Cross and by thy bitter Death, free me
from the pains of hell, and vouchsafe to bring me to Paradise, whither Thou
didst lead the thief who was crucified with Thee, my JESUS, who with the FATHER
and the HOLY GHOST livest and reignest GOD for ever and ever. Amen.
PATER, Ave
and Gloria five times.
