Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus,
I cast myself upon my knees in Your sight,
and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech You
that You would impress upon my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope, and Charity,
with true repentance for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment,
while with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself
and mentally contemplate
Your five most precious Wounds;
having before my eyes the words which David in prophecy
spoke concerning Yourself,
O good Jesus:
“They have pierced my hands and feet;
they have numbered all my bones.”
On any Friday during Lent a plenary indulgence is granted the Christian faithful who, after
Communion, devoutly recite the above prayer before an image of Jesus Christ crucified. On
other days of the year the indulgence is a partial one.
Handbook of Indulgences
One can obtain a plenary indulgences for himself. However, we can offer that plenary indulgence
for a soul in purgatory. This is an act of charity and spiritual tithing to do during Lent.
A plenary indulgence is gained every Friday in Lent by saying the following prayer before a
Crucifix after receiving Holy Communion. The usual requirements for a plenary indulgence also
apply.
