Dear Lord,
I am grieved when I consider Thy sad condition
when Thou wore the Crown of Thorns upon Thy holy Head.
I desire to withdraw the thorns
by offering to the Eternal Father
the merits of Thy Wounds for the salvation of sinners.
I wish to unite my actions
to the merits of Thy Most Holy Crown,
so that they may gain many merits,
as Thou hast promised.

Amen.
