Grace:
My Lord Jesus, I beg for the grace to truly enter into the mystery of your passion and death. That I may experience the pain with You in pain; that I may anguish with You in anguish; and, that I may experience sorrow with You in sorrow -- realizing that You are doing all these for me all in the name of love.
