Read Time:29 Second
My good and dearest Jesus,
Lo, I kneel before you
Beseeching and praying you
With all the ardor of my soul
To engrave deep and vivid impressions
Of faith, hope, and charity upon my heart,
With true repentance for my sins,
And a very firm resolve to make amends
Meanwhile, I ponder over your five wounds,
Dwelling upon them with deep compassion and grief,
And recalling the words that the Prophet David long ago
Put into your mouth,
Good Jesus, concerning yourself:
“They have pierced my hands and my feet
They have counted all my bones!”
