Prayer Before A Crucifix

devotional
The prayer

Dearest Jesus, I come before You in reverent kneeling, pouring out my soul in fervent prayer. I implore You to inscribe upon my heart profound and lasting impressions of faith, hope, and love, alongside sincere sorrow for my transgressions and a steadfast resolve to change. As I contemplate Your five wounds, I linger over them with heartfelt compassion and sadness, recalling the words of the prophet David that You spoke: 'They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have counted all my bones.'
