Most Sacred Face, we call on You until You hear our prayers.  You are able to help us wonderfully, Holy God, Mighty God, Holy Immortal God!  Have mercy on us and on the whole world!  Turn Your Face towards us and we shall be saved!
On the large (X) beads:
Heavenly Father, humbly and fervently we offer You the infinite merits and sufferings of the Sacred Face, His Precious Blood, all the wounds and tears of Jesus, to Your greater Glory, for help in our great need!
On the small (0) beads:
1st Decade - O Sacred Face, covered with wounds, have mercy on us who call on You!
2nd Decade - O Sacred Face, covered with blood, have mercy on us who call on You!
3rd Decade - O Sacred Face, shedding tears with infinite Love, have mercy on us who call on You!
4th Decade - O Sacred Face, despised and insulted, have mercy on us who call on You!
5th Decade - O Sacred Face, silently bearing the most bitter pain, have mercy on us who call on You!
Conclude with:
Let us adore the Sacred Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour, whose merits are infinite and whose mercy is fathomless.  May He grant us the remission of our sins and true conversion.  Let us console His Sacred Face by the purity of our lives, by fearless witness to our faith and by the depth of our love!  Amen.
