THE SOMASCANS' MOST BELOVED PRAYER FROM ST. JEROME EMILIANI

St. Jerome Emiliani, the founder of the Somascan Order, praying before the Crucifix with his orphans and followers. His companions later testified that the saint was regularly praying before the Holy Cross on top of a Hill and he was crying so much asking forgiveness for his sins and he kept on repeating these words night after night:

"DULCISSIME JESU NE SIS MIHI IUDEX SED SALVATOR!" [O most sweet Jesus, do not be my Judge but my Savior!"]
