Good and gentle Jesus, I kneel before you, I see and ponder your five wounds.
My eyes behold what David prophesied about you: “They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have numbered all my bones”.
Imprint on me this image of yourself. Fulfill the deep desires of my heart. Give me faith, hope and love, repentance for my sins, and the strength to serve your people with respect and love.
Amen.
