ST GEMMA GALGANI'S PRAYER

"Rita"
O my crucified God, behold me at Your feet; do not cast me out, now that
I appear before You as a sinner. I have offended You exceedingly in the past,
my Jesus, but it shall be so no longer.
Before You, O Lord, I place all my sins; I have now considered Your own
sufferings and see how great is the worth of that Precious Blood that flows
from Your veins.
O my God, at this hour close Your eyes to my want of merit, and since You
have been pleased to die for my sins, grant me forgiveness for them all, that
I may no longer feel the burden of my sins, for this burden, Dear Jesus, oppresses
me beyond measure.
Assist me, my Jesus, for I desire to become good whatsoever it may cost;
take away, destroy, utterly root out all that You find in me contrary to Your
holy will. At the same time, I pray You, Lord Jesus, to enlighten me that
I may be able to walk in Your holy light. Amen.
