| Grunewald Crucifixion |
My Crucified Jesus, mercifully accept the prayer which I now
make to Thee for help in the moment of my death, when at its approach all my
senses shall fail me.
When, therefore, O sweetest Jesus, my weary and downcast
eyes can no longer look up to Thee, be mindful of the loving gaze which I now
turn on Thee, and have mercy on me.
When my parched lips can no longer kiss Thy most Sacred
Wounds, remember then those kisses which now I imprint on Thee, and have mercy
on me.
When my cold hands can no longer embrace Thy Cross, forget
not the affection with which I embrace it now, and have mercy on me.
And when, at length, my swollen and lifeless tongue can no
longer speak, remember that I called upon Thee now.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, to you I commend my soul.
Amen
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Wounds
of our Lord Jesus
Christ
to heal the wounds of our souls.
