Recommended before or after Holy Communion
Heavenly
Father; in the holy name of your Son Jesus, crucified for my sins, and in
the Love of the Holy Spirit, I come very humbly before you, with sorrow for my sins.
Through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, which
I live as I receive Him in the Holy Eucharist.
Lord Jesus crucified;
I humbly speak to you, in the Presence of Mary our Blessed Mother. I acknowledge that you
suffered so much for me and for all, and that we are indebted to you forever.
Lord Jesus; I
appreciate very much your sufferings for me and for the rest of humanity.
I thank you for saving me through your crushing pain, through your many wounds, through
your tiredness and agony and through your Precious Blood shed with so much pain and love
for us; through your difficulty to breath, through your sweat and tears, through your
merciful patience, through every effort that you made and through your total offering for
my sins and for the sins of the whole world.
Lord I complain sometimes when I have a little misfortune, a wound or when I am sick or
tired, rejected, despised or prosecuted. But you were covered through your entire body
with painful wounds; you were pierced with pain by the crown of thorns, you were
stripped of your flesh by the scourging, you were insulted with terrible blasphemies, you
were spat upon, you were humiliated, you were inflicted new wounds upon your wounded
shoulder by the crushing weight of the cross, you were inflicted more wounds upon your
wounds by the brutal stripping of your garments, you were pierced painfully by the nails
on the cross, you were hanged upon the cross to bleed painfully to death, you suffered
asphyxiation as you found it very painful to breathe, and yet your physical agony was only
part of your suffering compared to your spiritual agony because you are God, and your holy
soul was sorrowful unto death as you surrendered your life in exchange for our eternal
life.
You
saw the ingratitude of men for your great sacrifice, and you suffered for the pride of our
sins, for the aggressiveness of those whom you created with so much love, for the hatred
of men who always receive all your love if only they come to you.
My Lord Jesus
crucified, I come humbly before you, everlasting fountain of healing and life, Powerful
source of our Resurrection, food for our souls in the Holy Eucharist, eternal refuge of
Divine Light, gate to the Majesty and Glory of the Father and our only hope and
salvation.
Divine
Merciful Lord, I pray and beseech on behalf of all humanity for your Mercy and
compassion, for your healing and blessings and for your Salvation.
Oh Precious treasure from Heaven, you who are hidden to the proud, fill my heart with
humility and purity that I may be worthy to receive the promises of everlasting life in
your Glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord into your Sacred Heart I place my heart united to all my needs and desires,
I present humbly my petitions, please deign to listen to my plea, embrace me with
your love, respond to my soul, look at me your child who comes attracted by your
love.
My
Lord Jesus; In your
crucified body I reverently place my sinfulness, my sicknesses and those of the people
that I pray for; since you bore our diseases and infirmities, since you endured our
sufferings and paid for our sins. Please dissolve them in your mercy; grant me these
petitions in your holy name and in the name of your sorrowful mother, my mother.
Amen.
Joseph
of Jesus and Mary
