O lovable Jesus, gentle Lamb of God, in spite of the fact that I am a sinful, wretched creature, I adore You and worship the Wound caused by the heavy weight of Your Cross, that burst open Your skin, uncovered the bones of Your Sacred Shoulder and on which Your sorrowing Mother Mary so much sympathized with. I as well, dear Jesus, also sympathize with You, and from the bottom of my heart, I glorify You, and thank You for this painful wound to Your shoulder on which You carried your Cross for my slavaiton. Ah! for all the sufferings You deeply expeirenced that increased the enormous weight of Your Cross, I humbly request, have mercy on me, a poor sinful creature, forgive my sins and conduct me to heaven by the way of the Cross.
Say the “Hail Mary” 3 times.
Holy Mother, imprint in my heart the wounds of the Crucified Jesus Christ.
O Sweet Jesus, please do not be my Judge, be my Saviour.
(Saint Bernard asked the Divine Redeemer what was the most painful wound that he suffered and the most unknown by mankind.
Jesus responded:
“I had a very deep wound on my shoulder on which I carried my heavy cross. This would was the most painful of all. Most men are unacquainted with it. Honour this wound and I will do everything you ask for.”)
