PALLOTTINE PRAYER
Jesus, stripped and scourged,
slapped and derided, crowned with thorns
and greeted with derision, spat upon, struck,
insulted and ridiculed, have mercy on us.
Jesus, laden with the cross of our sins
And the curses of the multitudes,
Nailed to an infamous tree between two thieves,
Wearied with insults and humiliations,
Mortified and dishonoured before men,
Have mercy on us.
St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Divine Love, pray for us.
