Anonymous, Prayer to Jesus Crucified
“ 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. ”
