In a world that makes us question so many things - ourselves, our existence, our purpose, the meaning of life....it's no wonder, from time to time, we find ourselves suffering with our own identity. Throughout life, it is so very important in those instances when we experience these identity crisis', to FIRST, do this.....
LOOK at a CRUCIFIX!
This is our identity.
SEE it.....RECALL it.....CONTEMPLATE it.....BELIEVE it.....LIVE it!
Prayer Before the Crucifix
Look down upon me good and gentle Jesus, while before Thy face I humbly kneel and with burning soul pray and beseech Thee to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment, while I contemplate with great love and tender pity Thy Five Wounds, pondering over them within me and calling to mind the words which David, Thy prophet said of Thee, my Jesus, “They have pierced My Hands and My Feet, they have numbered all My Bones.” [Psalm 21: 17 – 18]
