O glorious St Paul of the Cross, thou who in meditating on the Passion of Jesus Christ didst attain to such a high degree of sanctity on earth and of happiness in Heaven, and didst, by preaching the same holy Passion, offer to the world a most efficacious remedy for all its evils; obtain for us that we may ever have that Passion so deeply engraven on our hearts, that we may gather similar fruits in time and in eternity. Amen. Pater, Ave, Gloria.
