O divine and adorable Lord Jesus Christ, who hast gra- ciously redeemed us by thy bitter passion and death, we offer up this hour of Terce to thy honour and glory; and most humbly beseech thee, through the torments tnou didst endure in being cruelly scourged at the pillar, crowned with thorns, and unjustly condemned to be crucified, to grant us patience, longanimity under the scourges of temponu afflictions, cour- age to walk in the thorny road to the narrow gate which opens to eternal bliss, and perseverance under all the crosses of this life, which are the portion of thine elect ; that, by suf- fering for our sins, we may fully satisfy thy divine justice on earth, and may enter into thy glory immediately after death. Amen
