As Much As Thou Wishest Me. Amen
O Lord Jesus Christ, accept my sufferings* which I desire to unite with thine ; sanctify this affliction, so that every pain I feel may purify my soul, and bring it nearer unto thee.
O Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech thee to give pie such love for thee, that I may love the very sufferings that will take me sooner to thee. Only stand thou by me with thy supporting grace, and then order for me what thou pleasest. Come now to my help, and so purify my soul, tnat it may not require the cleansing fire of purgatory, but fly to the embraces of thy love for ever. Amen
