Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ 

O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wounds of Thy Shouder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross, which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body.  I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross.  Amen.

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked our Lord which was His greatest unrecorded sufferings, and Our Lord answered:  "I had on My Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievious Wound, which was more painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men.  Honor this wounds with thy devotion, and I will gant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merit.  And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, i will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their mortal sins".

InvocationsInHonoroftheHolyWoundsofOurLordJesusChrist

Eternal Father I offer Thee the wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our souls.  My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Thy Sacred Wounds.

Sister Mary Martha Chambon, a humble lay sister of the Visitation Order of Chambery, France, who died in the odor of sanctity, March 21st, 1907, received these two invocations from Our Lord Himself, as she affirmed, and with them a double MISSION to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this devotion in the hearts of creatures.

Our Lord said:

"The sould who during life has honored and studied the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and has offered them to the Eternal Father for the souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on theCross all brilliant in glory will receive her and crown her."
