Saint Gemma Galgani's Prayer to Jesus Crucified.

.

O my Crucified God, behold me at Thy feet; do not cast me out, now that I appear before Thee as a sinner. I have offended Thee exceedingly in the past, my Jesus, but it shall be so no longer.

.

Before Thee, O Lord, I place all my sins; I have now considered Thine own sufferings and see how great is the worth of that Precious Blood that flows from Thy veins.

.

O my God, at this hour close Thy eyes to my want of merit, and since Thou hast been pleased to die for my sins, grant me forgiveness for them all, that I may no longer feel the burden of my sins, for this burden, Dear Jesus, oppresses me beyond measure.

.

Assist me, my Jesus, for I desire to become good whatsoever it may cost; take away, destroy, utterly root out all that Thou findest in me contrary to Thy holy will. At the same time, I pray Thee, Lord Jesus, to enlighten me that I may be able to walk in Thy holy light. Amen.
