Catholic Prayer: Prayer
Before a Crucifix
Description: "A
plenary indulgence is granted on each Friday of Lent and Passiontide to the
faithful who, after Communion, piously recite the above prayer before an image
of Christ crucified; on other days of the year the indulgence is partial."
— Enchiridion of Indulgences, No. 22
Prayer: Look
down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel, and
with burning soul I 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; while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy
five wounds, pondering over them within me, having in mind the words which
David Thy prophet said of Thee, my Jesus: "They have pierced my hands and
my feet; they have numbered all my bones."
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be for the Holy Father's
intentions
