Meditation on The Passion - 14th Century



HAND WRITTEN PRAYER BOOK




























Here we begin Richard Rolle's 14th Century Masterpiece of the Passion of Christ.




1. Sweet Lord Jesu Christ, I thank thee and yield thee grace for that sweet prayer and for that holy orison that thou madest before the holy passion for us on the mount of Olivet.

Adoramus te Christe et benedicimus tibi quia per 
crucem tuam redemisti mundum.
Pater noster.  Ave Maria. 

or 

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless You because
by Your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world!
Our Father, Hail Mary

2. Sweet Lord Jesu Christ, I thank thee and yield thee grace for that great fearfulness that thou hadst for our sakes, when thou became so full of anguish that an angel of heaven came to comfort thee, when thou sweatest blood for anguish.


3. I pray thee, Lord, and beseech thee, for thy sweet memory, that thou be mine help in all mine anguish and my temptations, and send me, Lord, the angel of counsel and of comfort in all my needs, that I may turn, through that sweat, out of all sickness of soul and body into life and health.  


Adoramus te Christe et benedicimus tibi quia per 
crucem tuam redemisti mundum.
Pater noster.  Ave Maria. 

or 

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless You because
by Your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world!
Our Father, Hail Mary
