Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel,
and with burning soul 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;
and while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy five most precious Wounds,
pondering over them within me, and calling to mind the words which David,
Thy prophet, said of Thee, my Jesus:
“They have pierced My hands and My feet;
they have numbered all My bones,” (Psalm 21: 17,18)
Amen.
