ACT OF CONTRITION
Iriga City, Philippines
O Jesus Christ, my Lord, true God, and true Man, my great Redeemer; with the sublime love which You did profess for humankind, and for which You did suffer humiliations and experience all sorts of trials and tribulations since Your capture by the soldiers led by Judas Iscariot, and during Your painful journey to Calvary; walking with a heavy cross on Your shoulders, as a penitent creature of God, I should appreciate Your supreme sacrifice; Your death on the cross to redeem the world and hereby promise to love You ever more.
Referring to You, St. John said, “Greater love has no man than this that He lay down His life for His friends.”
In as much as I love you above all things, I repent with all my heart and soul for having committed sins against You. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your Grace to sin no more and to avoid the occasions of sin. So help me, I beseech You Jesus Christ, to do penance, and give me courage to follow You in Your dolorous way of the Cross
Sixth Day or Sixth Friday
Most of the spectators overlooked the role played by Simon of Cyrene on the difficult journey of Jesus Christ. A woman named Veronica was not one of them. Seeing that Jesus was exhausted, and bathed in sweat and blood, she rushed through the crowed and wiped His faced with a towel. He rewarded her by leaving the exact print of His face on the towel she had on her hands. The face could not be seen in the exact replica of our Lord’s. And the marks of hardships and sufferings were reproduced on the said towel.
Meditation
We must consider how our sins made the sacred face of the Lord disfigured. It was our sins that made Him suffer much on His dangerous and difficult journey to Calvary. Hence, we must reform, we should repent, and avoid the least of sins.
Resolution for the Day
Bearing in mind the wonderful deed of Veronica, I promise to repent for my sins through confession and never to offend You again and avoid all occasions sins. Likewise, I promise to help alleviate the sufferings of my fellowmen.
Prayer
O Jesus Christ, grant me grace to clean my soul from all defilements and imprint deep in my heart and mind the exact image of Your Holy sufferings. Jesus give me courage never to commit sins against You and fill my soul with fortitude and grant me joy and peace. Make me love You always and comply cheerfully with Gods will in all things.

O Almighty God, who have appointed Your only begotten Son the Savior of the World; many times I have improperly abandoned You, but after duly repenting for having offended You, now on my knees I come to offer You to say that I adore You with all fervor and devotion. So please forgive me for my sins and omissions; and grant me grace, I beseech You, my omnipotent God, so that I may enjoy the blessing and Glory of Heaven where Your Son Jesus live and reign with You in unity of the Holy spirit, world without end. Amen
(Say Three Hail Mary’s for the intention of this novena)
The Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with you, among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
CONCLUDING PRAYER
O MY SOUL, GREAT TRUTH; YOUR SALVATION MUST BE A MOST IMPORTANT AFFAIR; IF THE SON OF GOD HAD TO DIE TO THE CROSS FOR IT; AND IF THE MOST INNOCENT JESUS WAS THUS SCOURGED FOR THE SINS OF OTHERS, WHAT WILL BE THE PUNISHMENT IN HELL FOR OUR SIN, SO NUMEROUS AND COMMITTED WITH MALICE? O JESUS CRUCIFIED, BE MY SALVATION.
O MARY, MOTHER OF THE DIVINE REDEEMER, HOW GREAT IS THE GOODNESS OF JESUS TOWARD US, AND WE UNGRATEFUL FOR SUCH GOODNESS HAVE NOT ONLY SHOWN HIM LITTLE LOVE IN RETURN, BUT HAVE ALSO OFTEN TIME REOPENED HIS WOUNDS. PRAY FOR US THAT WE MAY DESPISE SUCH INGRATITUDE. OUR DEAREST MOTHER MARY, HELP OF CHRISTIANS, HELP ME TO KEEP MY RESOLUTIONS I HAVE MADE DURING THIS MEDITATION; HELP US TO LIVE AS GOOD AND FAITHFUL CATHOLICS, AS A DEVOUR CHILD OF YOU, HELP ME TO AVOID OFFENDING YOU DIVINE SON, HELP ME TO HAVE A HAPPY DEATH; HELP ME OH MARY, TO SAVE MY SOUL SO THAT I MAY BE HAPPY WITH JESUS CHRIST FOREVER. AMEN.
Jesus of the Black Nazarene…
Have Mercy on Us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
