Prayer to Jesus Crucified PDF Print E-mail

My good and dear Jesus,
I kneel before You,
asking You most earnestly
to engrave upon my heart
a deep and lively faith, hope and charity,
with true repentance for my sins,
and a firm resolve to make amends.
As I reflect upon Your five wounds,
and dwell upon them with deep compassion and grief,
I recall, good Jesus,
the words the prophet David spoke
long ago concerning Yourself:
they have pierced my hands and my feet,
they have counted all my bones.
