My adorable Savior, in expiation of our sins, and especially those of impurity, Thou didst vouchsafe to have Thy most pure Flesh torn in pieces. Ah! my Lord, smitten with the scourge, I return Thee thanks for such great love, and I grieve that I am myself, by reason of my sins, one of those who scourge Thee. O my Jesus! I detest all those wicked pleasures which have cost Thee so much pain. Oh, how many years ought I not already to have been in the flames of hell! And why hast Thou so patiently awaited me till now? Thou hast borne with me in order that at length, overcome by so many wiles of love, I might give myself up to love Thee, abandoning sin. O my beloved Redeemer! I will offer no further resistance to Thy loving affection; I desire to love Thee henceforth to the uttermost of my power. But Thou already knowest my weakness; Thou knowest how often I have betrayed Thee. Do Thou detach me from all earthly affections which hinder me from being all Thine own. Remind me frequently of the love which Thou hast borne me, and of the obligation I am under of loving Thee. In Thee I place all my hopes, my God, my Love, my All.
