Saint
Joseph
Here
I am, good and gentle Jesus, kneeling before you. With great fervor I
pray and ask you to instill in me genuine convictions of faith, hope
and love, with true sorrow for my sins and a firm resolve to amend
them. While I contemplate your five wounds with great love and
compassion, I remember the words which the prophet David long ago put
on your lips: "They have pierced my hands and my feet, I can
count all my bones." (Psalm 22/17-18).
