Cristero Prayer

Cristero Prayer
Composed by the martyr Blessed Anacleto Gonzalez Flores and prayed by the Cristeros of Jalisco at the end of the Rosary. -Translated by Fr. Jordi Rivero

"Merciful Jesus"!

My sins are more numerous than the drops of blood that you shed for me. I do not deserve to belong to the army that defends the rights of your church and fights for you.

I would that I had never sinned so that my life were an offering pleasing to your eyes. Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins.

By your holy cross, by my Most Holy Mother of Guadalupe, forgive me, I have not known how to make penance for my sins so I want to receive my death as a deserved punishment for them. I do not want to fight, or live, or die, but by you and your church.

Holy Mother Guadalupe!, Accompany in his agony this poor sinner. Grant that my last word on earth and my first song in heaven be:

VIVA CRISTO REY!

Spanish

"Jesús Misericordioso"!

Mis pecados son más que las gotas de sangre que derramaste por mí. No merezco pertenecer al ejército que defiende los derechos de tu iglesia y que lucha por Ti.

Quisiera nunca haber pecado para que mi vida fuera una ofrenda agradable a tus ojos. Lávame de mis iniquidades y límpiame de mis pecados.

Por tu Santa Cruz, por mi Madre Santísima de Guadalupe, perdóname, no he sabido hacer penitencia de mis pecados; por eso quiero recibir la muerte como un castigo merecido por ellos. No quiero pelear, ni vivir, ni morir, sino por Ti y por tu iglesia.

! Madre Santa de Guadalupe!, acompaña en su agonía a este pobre pecador. Concédeme que mi último grito en la tierra y mi primer cantico en el cielo sea:

! VIVA CRISTO REY !
