Full text

Ave clementissime domine Jesu Christe, fili dei vivi, rex aeternae gloriae, qui hora completorii in monte Olivarum sanguineo sudore sacratissimo e membris tuis in terram stillante patrem orasti dicens: pater mi, si possibile est, calix iste transeat a me, spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma, veruntamen fiat voluntas tua.
