PRAYER ADDRESSED TO JESUS ON THE HOLY SHROUD
Jesus, My Lord and My God
when I look at the image on the Holy Shroud..
I see You, Who laid down Your Life for me on the Cross; shedding Your Blood to forgive me and wash me of all my sins - to ransom me from the kingdom of darkness and bring me to the glorious kingdom of God's heavenly Light and Truth.
I see Your disfigured Face, which reflects the faces of all God's children on earth who are longing to be tenderly consoled, touched and healed by the divine shining light of Your heavenly glory.
I see Your tortured Body covered with the marks of Your atrocious Passion which resemble the hurts and wounds which sin has brought upon all of us human beings.
I see You totally naked in order to be united with my soul's nakedness, offering me the hope of being clothed once again in the Garments of Salvation, Garments of Light and Garments of Divine Praise, the Cloak of Gladness and the Clothing of Goodness and Holiness.
Jesus, My Lord and My God, even though Your Eyes are closed, You see me, You are looking out for me...
To console me in Your gracious love and mercy
To strengthen me in my weakness and weariness
To forgive me all of my sins and cloth me with purity
To support me by carrying me and my burdens
To give me hope and confidence by your presence
To anoint me with Your Holy Spirit of peace and joy
To assure me of Your Father's Tender Loving Care
To place me in Your Mother's immaculate Heart
To raise me up by the power of Your Resurrection
To cloth me with the Mantle of Your Divine Light
To cover me and protect me by Your Holy Shroud...
May the Light of Your Holy Face shine upon us!
Remain with us Lord.
Amen
