O Divine Redeemer,

Great was Your goodness in undertaking my redemption, in consenting to be made sin for me, in conquering all my foes;

Great as Your strength in enduring the extremities of divine wrath, in taking away the load of my iniquities;

Great was Your love in manifesting Yourself alive, in showing Your sacred wounds, that every fear might vanish, and every doubt be removed;

Great was Your mercy in ascending to heaven in being crowned and enthroned there to intercede for me, there to help me in temptation, there to open the eternal book, there to receive me finally to Yourself;

Great was Your wisdom in devising this means of salvation; Bathe my soul in rich consolations of Your resurrection life;

Great was Your grace in commanding me to come hand in hand with You to the Father, to be knit to Him eternally, to discover in Him my rest, to find in Him my peace, to behold in His glory, to honor Him who is alone worthy;

(Great was Your grace)…in giving me the Spirit as teacher, guide, power, that I may live repenting of sin, conquer Satan, find victory in life.

When You are absent, all sorrows are here,

When You are present, all blessings are mine!
