Prayer Before a Crucifix
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus
while before Your face I humbly kneel
and, with burning soul,
pray and beseech You
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,
Your five most precious wounds,
pondering over them within me
and calling to mind the words which David,
Your prophet, said to You, my Jesus:
"They have pierced My hands and My feet,
they have numbered all My bones."
Amen.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
For the Catholic Church and the intentions of the Holy Father.
