Prayer to Jesus Christ Crucified




Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself on my knees in Thy sight, 
and with the most fervent desire of my soul, 
I pray and beg Thee to impress upon my heart lively sentiments of 
faith, hope, and charity, 
with true repentance for my sins, 
and a firm desire of amendment, while with deep affection and grief of soul 
I contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds, 
having before my eyes that which David spoke in prophecy:
 "They pierced My hands and My feet; 
they have numbered all My bones." 
God has loved us from all eternity. 
So He says: "Remember I first loved you. 
You had not come to be, nor did the world yet exist,
 but I loved you already. 
From all eternity I have loved you."
