Prayer to the Lord Jesus on the cross

Here I am, good and sweet Jesus, I fall on my knees before You and with the greatest fervor of spirit I am asking You and begging You, that you may deign into my heart the vivid feelings of faith, hope and love, along with true repentance for my sins and a strong will to correct.

While with great emotion and deep sorrow of my soul I ponder your five wounds and sink into them, I have this in front of my eyes, what's on your lips, good Jesus, put the prophet David: They have pierced my hands and my feet, they have counted all my bones (Ps 21, 17).
