O my crucified God, behold me
at Your feet; do not cast me out,
now that I appear before You as a sinner.
I have offended You exceedingly in the past,
my Jesus, but it shall be so no longer.
Before You, O Lord, I place all my sins;
I have now considered Your own sufferings
and see how great is the worth of that
Precious Blood that flows from Your veins.
O my God, at this hour close Your eyes
to my want of merit, and since You have been
pleased to die for my sins, grant me forgiveness
for them all, that I may no longer feel
the burden of my sins, for this burden,
dear Jesus, oppresses me beyond measure.
Assist me, my Jesus, for I desire to
become good whatsoever it may cost;
take away, destroy, utterly root out
all that You find in me contrary to
Your holy will. At the same time,
I pray to You Lord Jesus,
to enlighten me that I may be
able to walk in Your holy light.
Amen.
