MY DEAREST LORD JESUS CRUCIFIED, BENDING LOW BEFORE THEE...

O God, come unto my assistance. 

Oh Lord, make haste to help me. 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. 

My dearest Lord Jesus Crucified, bending low before Thee, with Mary most holy and with all the Angels and Saints in paradise, I adore the most holy Wound in Thy right Hand. I give Thee thanks for the infinite love, wherewith Thou didst will to suffer so many bitter pains because of my sins which I detest with all my heart; I implore Thee to grant graciously to Thy holy Church  victory over all her enemies, and to all her children grace to walk in holiness in the way of Thy commandments. 

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be. 

My dearest Lord Jesus Crucified, bending low before Thee, together with Mary most holy and with all the Angels and Saints in paradise, I adore the sacred Wound in Thy left Hand, and I beseech Thee for grace for all poor sinners, for the dying, and especially for those who will not be reconciled to Thee. 

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

My dearest Lord Jesus Crucified, bending low before Thee, with Mary most holy, and with all the Angels and Saints in paradise, I adore the sacred Wound in Thy right Foot, and I beg of Thee this grace, that countless flowers of holiness may blossom among the clergy and all those who are consecrated to Thee. 

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be. 

My dearest Lord Jesus Crucified, bending low before Thee, with Mary most holy and with all the Angels and Saints in paradise, I adore the sacred Wound in Thy left Foot, and implore Thee to deliver the holy souls in Purgatory, and especially those who in life were most devout toward Thy sacred Wounds. 

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be. 

My dearest Lord Jesus Crucified, bending low before Thee, with Mary most holy and with all the Angels and Saints in paradise, I adore the sacred Wound in Thy most holy Side, and I pray Thee to bless and graciously hear all those who have been recommended themselves to my prayers. 

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be. 

O Virgin most sorrowful, pray for us (to be said thrice). 

My Crucified Jesus, confirm these prayers by the merits of Thy Passion;give me holiness of life, the grace to receive Thy holy Sacraments at the hour of my death, and glory everlasting. Amen. 

This prayer was issued by the Holy Office in 1915. The Holy Office is now called The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The painting was executed by an unknown artist.
