O JESUS, most glorious in thy magnificence, I praise and bless thine incomprehensible omnipotence, thus weak and helpless for us in thy Passion. I adore and glorify thine unsearchable wisdom, thus accounted foolishness for us. I praise and magnify thine unutterable love, which did submit to be hated of all men for the sake of thine elect. I praise and extol thy meek and gentle mercy, sentenced to a fearful death for man. I praise and adore thy ravishing sweetness, embittered for us by thy most bitter death. Amen.
