To Jesus Crucified

I kiss the wounds in your Sacred Feet
With sorrow deep and true
May every step I take today
Be a million acts of love for you.

I kiss the wounds in your Sacred Head
With sorrow deep and true
May every thought in my mind today
Be a million acts of love for you.

I kiss the wound in your Sacred Heart
With sorrow deep and true
May every beat of my heart today
Be a million acts of love for you.

I kiss the wounds in your Sacred Shoulder
With sorrow deep and true
May every cross I bear today
Be a million acts of love for you.

I kiss the wounds in your Sacred Hands
With sorrow deep and true
May every touch of my hands today
Be a million acts of love for you,
Of love for you dear Lord.

The Butterfly is symbol of transforming union of the soul to God. God will give this grace to those faithful to walk the path of prayer and self-denial
