PRAYER BEFORE A CRUCIFIX

 Look down upon me good and gentle Jesus, while before your face I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray you to fix deep in my heart, lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true sorrow for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment, while I contemplate with great love the tender pity of your five wounds, pondering over them within me and calling to mind the words which David your prophet said of you my Jesus, "They have pierced my hands and feet, they have numbered all my bones." (Ps, 27, 17-18)
