Prayer To Jesus Crucified
prayer

     As I gaze upon You, O Jesus, in this Holy Icon from which graces and miraculous cures radiate constantly, I begin to realize Who You are and what I am.  You are good, merciful and overflowing with love—I, wretched, unforgiving and weighted down with sin.  Conscious of this I fearfully prostrate myself before You and as David, repentantly cry out to You: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your mercy; according to the multitude of your kindness blot out my iniquity, O ever merciful Jesus. 

      To the blind who have come to adore You before this Holy Icon, You have given sight.  Enlighten me also with the rays of your grace so that I may see the malice of my transgressions.  The mute, You have restored speech.  Grant that I may become insensible to shame and mute to malice so that I could confess my sins with a heart truly contrite.  You cleansed the wounds of lepers, cleanse my soul which is covered with the vileness of sin. 

      O Jesus, Infinite Love, hear the prayers of your servant whom you redeemed not with silver or gold, but with the priceless drops of Your Most Sacred Blood.  Hear me, as I humbly call to You and do not turn your loving glance from me, lest the enemies of my soul mockingly reproach me saying: You trusted in Him!  As I make my earthly sojourn, grant me the grace to have You always in my heart, in my thoughts, and on my lips, so that in the hereafter I could be with You in the Kingdome of Heaven forever and ever.  Amen.
