Opening Prayer

My Lord Jesus Christ, You have made this journey to die for me with unspeakable love, and I have so many times ungratefully abandoned You; but now I love You with my all my heart, and because I love You, I sincerely sorry for ever having offended You. Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany You on this journey. You go to die for love of me; I want also, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of You. My Jesus, I will live and die always united to You.
