Very effective prayer to Jesus Crucified to ask for a grace

O Jesus, I stop thoughtfully

at the foot of the cross:

I too have built it with my sins!

Your goodness, which is not defended

and let himself be crucified, it's a mystery

that surpasses me and moves me deeply.

Lord, you came into the world for me,

to look for me, to bring me

the embrace of the Father.

You are the Face of goodness

and mercy:

for this you want to save me!

There is darkness within me:

come with your clear light.

There is a lot of selfishness inside me:

come with your boundless charity.

Inside me there is resentment and malice:

come with your meekness and your humility.

Lord, the sinner to be saved is me:

the prodigal son who has to come back, it's me!

Lord, grant me the gift of tears

to find freedom and life,

peace with you and joy in you.

Amen.

Angelo Comastri Bishop
