BEFORE THE CRUCIFIX


Prayer Before a Crucifix


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 

ammendment. 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 that David, Thy prophet, said of Thee , my

 Jesus, “They have pierced My hands and feet, They 

have numbered all my bones.” (Ps. 22:17)
