OFFERING
(An excerpt from a prayer of St. Augustine)
My sweet Jesus, Who in Your desire to redeem the world, deigned to be born, circumcised, mocked by the Jews, to fall into the hands of Your enemies through the treacherous kiss of Judas, to be bound and brought to the place of sacrifice like a meek Lamb, brought before Caiphas, Pilate and Herod, spat on, accused and condemned with false witnesses, to be slapped and have Your Sacred Body covered with wounds from the cruel scourging, to be crowned with thorns, Your Face covered with a purple cloth in mockery, stripped of YOur garments, nailed and elevated on the Cross between two thieves as if You were one of them, offered gall and vinegar to drink, and to be pierced in Your Side with a lance, deliver, O Lord, the [soul of _____ | souls in Purgatory] from [his/her | their] great suffering through Your most bitter Passion; bring [him/her | them] to Your Glory and deliver us from the pains of hell, through the merits of Your Holy Passion and Death on the Cross, so that we may be worthy to enter that Kingdom where You brought the good thief, who was crucified with You, who live and reign, the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever. Amen.
