About This Prayer
This moving prayer by St. Alphonsus Liguori is a heartfelt prayer for repentance and a deep expression of love for Christ. It reflects sorrow for sin and the desire to remain united with Jesus in His Passion. Traditionally prayed during the Stations of the Cross or in moments of personal reflection, it helps the faithful enter into the mystery of Christ’s sacrifice and renew their commitment to follow Him with fidelity.
The Prayer
My Lord Jesus Christ, You have made this journey to die for me with love unutterable,
and I have so many times unworthily abandoned You;
but now I love You with my whole heart,
and because I love You, I repent sincerely for ever having offended You.
Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany You on this journey.
You go to die for love of me;
I wish also, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of You.
