Prayer Before a Crucifix

Look down upon me good and gentle Jesus as before Thy sacred Cross 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; 

whilst I contemplate, with great love and tender pity, Thy five sacred wounds, 

and as I meditate upon them, I call to mind the words which David, Thy prophet,

spoke concerning Thee:

“They pierced My hands and My feet, they numbered all My bones.” Amen

Our call to mission as being made in the image and likeness of God is two-fold: to have authentic relationships with our fellow man, and to have an authentic personal encounter with our living God through His Son Jesus Christ who is, who was and who will always be. Let us not bicker, spew hate, or worry about trivial matters when we can become better images of our self to walk humbly with our loving God.
