His feet

O admirable feet of my Lord Jesus Christ, transfixed by having one hard nail driven into both of them, and from which there flowed a copious amount of your precious blood, I reverentely adore you and heartily kiss you, asking you to pardon whatever I have committed while standing or walking.
Hail Mary…

His legs

O admirable legs and humble knees of my Lord Jesus Christ, who often bent in prayer or prostrate on the naked earth, and struck by stiff switches during your passion, I humbly adore you and meekly kiss you, asking you to forgive my sins of lukewarmness and laziness in serving you.
Hail Mary…

His torso

O holy and pure torso of my Lord Jesus Christ, that the virginal womb of Holy Mary carried and nursed, and so bitterly beaten by many a lash, I rightly adore you and compassionately kiss you, asking you to free me from my sins of having shown more care for my body than necessary.
Hail Mary…

His side

O honored side of my Lord Jesus Christ, wherein the deelpy wound of divine love stands open, I especially adore you and devoutly kiss you, pleading that you pardon my sins against fraternal charity and of growing cold in my love for heavenly things.
Hail Mary…

His back

O most patient back of my Lord Jesus Christ, ever ready to carry, and without complaint, the wood of life and the burden of all of our sins, and enduring the brutal blows of the scourges, I lovingly adore you and with sadness in my heart I pray that you remit my sins of being impatient in bearing my everyday burdens.
Hail Mary…

Hail Mary…

His breast

O most pure breast of my Lord Jesus Christ, in which there was no stain of sin and into which none could enter, and upon which Blessed John the Apostle leaned during the Last Supper, I sincerely adore you and affectionately kiss you, beseeching you to cleanse me of my sins committed by fostering foul thoughts.
Hail Mary…

His neck

O white and delicate neck of my Lord Jesus Christ, frequently lean because of hunger and thirst, never ornately adorned nor held proudly upright, but always held in humble and reverent subjection to father and mother, and harshly buffeted in your passion, I humbly adore you and lovingly kiss you as I pray that you forgive my sins committed out of vain motives.
Hail Mary…

His mouth

O gentle mouth of my Lord Jesus Christ, from which the word of salvation came to our world, and besmirched by the spittle of the populace and embittered by the cup of vinegar, I adore you and kindly ask you to forgive my sins committed in eating, drinking and speaking.
Hail Mary…

His face

O handsome face of my Lord Jesus Christ, full of benevolent friendliness, shamefully spat upon by the crowds, brutally slapped and shockingly veiled, I lovingly adore you and affectionately kiss you, asking you to pardon my sins of disrespect and irreverence committed against you.
Hail Mary…

His ears

O fortunate ears of my Lord Jesus Christ, never yielding to flattery nor permitting any unbecoming or harmful word to turn you away from the path of righteousnous, I honorably adore you and fervently kiss you asking you to forgive my sins of yielding to flattering speech and improper language.
Hail Mary…

His eyes

O brightly shining eyes of my Lord Jesus Christ, innocent of all unseemingly desires and now sealed by violent death, and whence frequently came a shower of tears, I heartily adore you and gently kiss you besseching you to forgive all my sins committed by the immodest use of my eyes.
Hail Mary…

His head

O sublime and revered head of my Lord Jesus Christ, wearing a crown of sharp thorns pressed deeply into it, with hair stained and consecrated by the blood that had flowed there from, together with the angels and all the powers of heaven I adore you and ardently kiss each of your sacred wounds and from the depths of my heart I ask you to free me from all the thorns of sin that remain in me and that you deign to number me, though I am the least, among your elect.
Hail Mary…
The Passion of Christ, P154
 
Praying these prayers. Thank you for this. God Bless you.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
