A nighttime image of Christ on the Cross is on the front of the prayer card and on the back a sonnet to the crucified Christ.
I am not moved, my God, to give You love
by thoughts of heaven that You've promised me;
nor am I moved by thoughts of dreaded hell
for that alone, to cease offending thee.
You are what moves me. Lord: I'm moved to see
You on a cross and mocked with every breath;
I'm moved to see Your body racked with wounds
I'm moved by Your affronts and by Your death.
I'm moved, in sum by love for You so great
that I would love You were not heaven there,
and I would fear You, if there were no hell.
You need give me no praise to love You thus,
for even if what I hope I hoped not,
as I now love You I would love You still.
