A Prayer For After Communion Before A Crucifix

Gaze upon me, kind and merciful Jesus, as I kneel humbly in Your presence. With a fervent spirit, I plead with You to instill in my heart profound feelings of faith, hope, and love. Grant me sincere remorse for my transgressions and a steadfast commitment to change my ways. As I reflect on Your five most sacred wounds with deep affection and compassion, I meditate on them within me, recalling the words of David, Your prophet, who spoke of You, my Jesus: 'They have pierced My hands and feet; they have numbered all my bones.'
