Page:Prière à Jésus crucifié.JPG/1

 Here I am, O good and very sweet Jesus, prostrate in your presence. I beg and conjure you with all the ardour of my soul to deign to imprint in my heart lively feelings of faith, hope and charity, a true repentance of my faults and a very firm desire to correct them; while with a great love and a great sorrow I consider and contemplate in spirit your five wounds, having before my eyes the words that the prophet David already applied to you by putting them in your mouth, O good Jesus: they have pierced my hands and my side, they have counted all my bones.

Plen. indulg. applicable to souls in Purgatory for those who, having confessed and received communion, recite this prayer with devotion in front of an image of Jesus crucified and pray for the intentions of the sovereign Pontiff.

(Pius IX. 1858.)
