Prayer to Jesus Crucified

En ego, o bone et dulcissime Iesu

It is prayed on one's knees before a crucifix, meditating on the five wounds of Jesus. It asks for faith, hope, charity, and true repentance.

Here I am, O good and most sweet Jesus! Prostrated on my knees before your divine presence, I ask and plead, with the most ardent fervor, that you imprint in my heart living feelings of faith, hope, and charity, and a true repentance of my sins, with a very firm will to amend them,

while I, with great affection and sorrow of soul, consider and meditate on your five wounds, having before my eyes what the holy prophet David already said of you, O good Jesus: "They pierced my hands and my feet, and numbered all my bones" (Psalm 21,17-18).

Pray an Our Father for the intentions of the Holy Father.

The devotional book reminds that the Church grants a plenary indulgence to those who, having confessed and received communion, pray this prayer before a statue of Jesus Crucified on Fridays of Lent, and a partial indulgence on other days of the year.
