Good Friday

O good and dearest Jesus,

I kneel before your face.

With all my heart

I ask you

to place in my heart

more faith, hope and charity.

Give me a true sorrow for my sins

and a strong will to do better

With great sorrow and grief

I look upon your five wounds

and think about them.

Before my eyes

are the words

that the prophet David said of you,

O good Jesus:

"They have pierced my hands and feet

They have numbered all my bones."
