5. At Five O’clock.

In my affliction and pain, where, O dear Jesus, could I make my refuge, but in Thy five sacred wounds? In these I will be secure when I shall have lost my mind and my senses. I will abide in Thee, abide 104 Thou also in me. Trim the lamp of my heart with the pure oil of faith, prepare me thro’ Christian penitence to go forth with joy to meet Thee at Thy second coming, and in company with all the elect, forever to enjoy the wedding feast. Amen.
