Nailed for us on the cross, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God the Father, an inexhaustible Abyss of mercy, love and generosity! We know that for the sake of my sins, out of unspeakable love for mankind, you deigned to shed your blood on the cross, even though I, accursed and ungrateful, have trampled upon my bad deeds and held nothing against me. Now, from the depths of lawlessness and uncleanness, my mental eye has looked upon You crucified on the cross as my Redeemer, with humility and faith in the depths of Your mercy I cast myself down, asking for the forgiveness of my sins and correction of my foul life. Be merciful to me, my Lord and Judge, do not cast me away from Your presence, but with Your omnipotent hand turn me to You and guide me on the path of true repentance, so that from now on I will lay the beginning of my salvation. With Your divine sufferings, tame my carnal passions: with Your shed blood, cleanse my spiritual defilements: with Your crucifixion, crucify me to the world and its lusts: with Your cross, protect me from the invisible enemies who are trapping my soul.
Having been nailed to the flesh, nail my flesh to Thy fear, so that, having turned away from evil, I may do good before Thee. Having bowed Your head on the cross, bend my exalted pride to the ground of humility: You who have tasted bile with your lips, put my unclean lips in storage: having a heart opened with a spear, create a pure heart in me: with all Your wounds, wound me sweetly into Your love, so that I may love You my Lord with all my soul, with all my heart, with all my strength and with all by thought. Show me the All-Blessed One, who delivers my soul from death: show Himself the All-Sweet One, who delights me in sorrows and misfortunes with Your love, and whom I first hated, angered, drove out from myself and like nailing my sins to the cross, whom I will now love, joyfully accept, and sweet His cross until the end of my life I'll carry it.
From now on, O All-merciful Redeemer, do not allow my will to be fulfilled, since evil is and is indecent, lest I again fall into the hard work of the sin that reigned in me: but Your good will, which wants to save me, may it always be fulfilled in me, handing me over to You, I imagine the crucified Lord of my heart with the intelligent comb of my heart and pray from the depths of my soul, and in In my separation from my mortal body, I will see You alone on Your cross, in the hand of Your protection, accepting me and keeping me from the airy spirits of malice, indwelling with sinners who have pleased You with repentance.
