A Prayer of Devotion and Partnership
The devotee asks Christ to remember their prayer and, through shared suffering, to grant them a share in the crown.
Christ, recall these canonical hours with devotion for me, in the holy way that you who suffered punishments for me in your struggle — so you share in this labor — may I be a partner in the crown.
Liturgical Doxology
The prayer concludes with a Trinitarian blessing and thanksgiving.
Amen. Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Read the original Latin
Has horas canonicas cum devocione tibi xpriste recola pia ratione tu qui pro me passus est penas in agone sic labori consonaris consors sim corone. Amen. Benedicamus domino. Deo gracias.
