Prayer Before the High Altar

Oh! Jesus Christ, my Lord, with what great love did you pass over the painful road which led You to death; and I, how often have I abandoned You!

But, now I love You with my whole soul, and because I love You, I am sincerely sorry for having offended You. My Jesus, pardon me, and permit me to accompany You in this journey.

You are going to die for love of me, and it is my wish also, my dearest Redeemer, to die for love of you. My Jesus, in your love I wish to live. In Your love I wish to die.
