Prayer to Jesus Crucified

Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before thy face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul I 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 wounds, pondering over them within me, and calling to mind what the prophet David put in thy mouth concerning Thee, O good Jesus: "They have pierced my hands and feet; they have numbered all my bones."

Say the Our Father and the Hail Mary, five times, for the Pope and the Church.

Indulgenced Prayer Before a Crucifix

Behold, O Kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of soul I pray and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm desire of amendment, whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious wounds; having before my eyes that which David spoke in prophecy concerning Thee, O good Jesus: They have pierced my hands and feet; they have numbered all my bones.
