O Beautiful Friend.
O Star of the Morning.
O Full Noonday Sun.
O Resplendent.
O Noble torch of the righteous, and of the truth, and of the eternal
life, and of eternity.
O Fountain ever new, everlasting.
O Heart's-love of the illustrious Patriarchs.
O Longing of the Prophets.
O Master of Apostles and Disciples.
O Bestower of the Law.
O Precursor of the New Testament.
O Judge of the Judgment Day.
O Son of the Merciful Father, without a Mother in Heaven.
O Son of the truly perfect Virgin Mary, without a father on Earth.
O true brother of the heart.
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.
