Preparation before each hour

O my Lord Jesus Christ, prostrate in your divine presence, I implore your most loving Heart to admit me to the sorrowful meditation of the 24 hours in which for love of us You wanted to suffer so much, in your adorable body and in your most holy soul, unto death on the Cross. O please, give me help, grace, love, deep compassion and understanding of your sufferings, as I now meditate the ____Hour.

And for those which I cannot meditate, I offer You my will to meditate them, and I willingly intend to meditate them in all the hours in which I have to apply myself to my duties, or sleep.

Accept, O merciful Lord, my loving intention, and let it be beneficial for me and for all, as if I effectively and in a saintly way accomplished what I wish to practice.

Meanwhile, I give You thanks, O my Jesus, for calling me to union with You by means of prayer. And to please You more, I take your thoughts, your tongue, your Heart, and with this I intend to pray, fusing all of myself in your Will and in your love; and stretching out my arms to hug You, I place my head on your Heart, and I begin.

  1. Jesus has given up His life and suffers no more in the tomb, but Mary our mother and queen suffers an indescribable loss, a pain comparable to hell in that hell's worst torment is to be separated from God. Let us visit Our Blessed Mother as well as visiting the tomb of Jesus and console her. Mother, words fail me to comfort you only know that I am here grieving with you awaiting the dawn. With you, sweet Mama, I pray incessantly, Jesus, rise up.
