Prayer Before A Crucifix # 6

My Divine Saviour,
what didst Thou become,
when for love of souls Thou didst suffer Thyself
to be bound to the pillar?
Ah! how truly then was fulfilled the word of the Prophet,
saying of Thee that from head to foot Thou shouldst be all one wound,
so as to be no longer recognizable!
What shame Thou didst endure
when they stripped Thee of Thy garments!
What torments Thou didst undergo in that tempest of countless blows!
In what torrents did Thy Most Precious Blood
gush forth from Thy bursting veins!
 

 

 

I know well it was not so much the injustice
of the Roman governor
and the cruelty of the soldiers that scourged Thee as my sins.
O accursed sins,
that have cost Thee so many pains!
Alas, what hardness of heart,
when notwithstanding Thy manifold sufferings for me
I have continued to offend Thee!
But from this day forth it shall be so no longer.
United to Thee by bonds of loyalty for ever,
as long as I shall live,
I shall seek to satisfy Thine offended justice.
By the pains Thou didst suffer when bound to the pillar,
by the scourges which tore Thine innocent Flesh,
by the Blood which Thou didst shed in such abundance,
have mercy on this unhappy soul of mine;
deliver me today and always from the snares of the tempter;
and when I have come to the end of my exile,
bring me safely home to Heaven with Thee.

Amen.
