Daily Prayer - Willed to be Crucified

O Jesus, Who by reason of Your burning love for us 
has willed to be crucified 
and to shed Your Most Precious Blood 
for the redemption and salvation of our souls, 
look down upon us here gathered together 
in remembrance of Your most sorrowful Passion and Death, 
fully trusting in Your mercy; 
cleanse us from sin by Your grace, 
sanctify our toil, 
give to us and to all those who are dear to us our daily bread, 
sweeten our sufferings, 
bless our families, 
and to the nations so sorely afflicted, 
grant Your peace, 
which is the only true peace, 
so that by obeying Your commandments 
we may come at last to the glory of heaven.
