A prayer of St. Bonaventura:
O Lord, Holy Father, show us what kind of man it is who it hanging, for our sakes, on the cross, whose suffering causes the rocks, themselves, to crack and crumble with compassion, whose death brings the dead back to life.
Let my heart crack and crumble at the sight of Him. Let my soul break apart with compassion for His suffering. Let it be shattered with grief at my sins for which He dies. And finally, let it be softened with devoted love for Him.
