2. For the sake of thy consanguinity, hear the supplication of this poor miserable being, that thou receive the offering for all Christian Churches and for myself. 3. For the sake of the Merciful Father, from whom thou didst come unto us upon Earth. 4. For the sake of thy Divinity, which that Father modified so as to receive thy humanity. 5. For the sake of the Immaculate Body from which thou didst come (wert formed) in the womb of the Virgin. 6. For the sake of the Spirit with the seven forms, which descended upon that body in unity with thyself and with thy Father. 7. For the sake of the holy womb from which thou didst receive that body without destruction of virginity. 8. For the sake of the holy following, and the holy pedigree from which that body descended, from the body of Adam to the body of Mary. 9. For the sake of the seven things which were foretold of thee on Earth, namely, thy conception, thy birth, thy baptism, thy crucifixion, thy burial, thy resurrection, thy ascension, thy coming to the judgment. 10. For the sake of the holy tree upon which thy side was torn. 11. For the sake of the innocent blood which trickled upon us from that tree. 12. For the sake of thine own body and blood, which are offered upon all the holy altars which are in all the Christian Churches of the world. 13. For the sake of all the scriptures in which thy news is recorded. 14. For the sake of all the truth in which thy resurrection is recorded. 15. For the sake of thy charity, which is the head and the top of all the testaments, ut dicitur, caritas super exaltat omnia. 16. For the sake of thy royal kingdom, with all its rewards and glorious gifts and music. 17. For the sake of thy mercy, and thy forgiveness, and thy loving friendship, thy own bountifulness, which is more extensive than all wealth, that I may obtain the forgiveness and the annihilation of my past sins from the beginning of my life to this day, after the words of David, who said: Beati quorum remissæ sunt iniquitates et quorum tecta sunt peccata, id est: dispense, and give, and bestow thy holy grace and thy holy spirit to defend and shelter me from all my present and future sins; and to light up in me all truth, and to retain me in that truth to the end of my life, and that thou receive me at the end of my life into Heaven, in the unity of illustrious patriarchs and prophets, in the unity of Apostles and Disciples, in the unity of Angels and Archangels, in the unity which excels all unities, that is, in the unity of the bright, holy, all-powerful Trinity, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit. For I can effect nothing unless I effect it in the language of the Apostle Paul, who said: Quis me liberavit a corpore mortis hujus peccati nisi gratia tua Domine Jesu Christe qui regnas in secula seculorum. Amen. * * * * *
