Prayer Before the Crucifix

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus

while before Thy face I humbly kneel and,

with burning soul,

pray and beseech Thee

to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments

of faith, hope, and charity;

true contrition for my sins,

and a firm purpose of amendment.

While I contemplate,

with great love and tender pity,

Thy five most precious wounds,

pondering over them within me

and calling to mind the words which David,

the prophet, said of Thee, my Jesus:

“They have pierced My hands and My feet,

they have numbered all My bones.”

Amen.
