(CHJ, page 164; see "Three O'clock Prayer")
Lord, you can understand people in any language, including sign language. Well, I'd like to translate the "O Blood and Water" prayer into sign language. So, Lord, I propose the following deal. Anytime I consciously inhale with the intention of receiving the blood and water that gushed forth from your pierced side, I ask you to fill me with your merciful love. Then, when I exhale with the intention of giving this mercy to others, I ask you to give them the grace of the "O Blood and Water" prayer, namely, the grace of conversion.
