Translation:

Jesus., may your holy wounds, your suffering and bitter death give me comfort in all hours in boduly and spiritual need. When I think of something disagreeable, let me remember your pain, that I may ponder well in my heart your fear and suffering. With God I can do anything.
Go forth in all the world, teach the people, and baptize them in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost. God will bring all works before judgment.
