This week’s meditation takes the form of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, a devotional that Our Lord encouraged Sister Mary Martha Chambon VHM, a mystic of the Order, to say and share.
On a certain Sunday in Lent, her Beloved Lord came to her and said,” I’ll give you an occupation: thou shalt offer thy sufferings in union with the divine for the Souls in Purgatory.”
Offer it me often to win sinners,” encouraged the good Master.
Chaplet of the Holy Wounds
To be said on the Crucifix and the first three beads of an ordinary Rosary:
O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful to us and to the whole world. Amen.Mighty God, holy God, immortal God, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, during present dangers; cover us with Your Precious Blood. Amen.
Eternal Father, grant us mercy through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Your only Son; grant us mercy, we beseech You. Amen, Amen, Amen.
The following prayers, composed by Our Lord, are to be said using the Rosary beads. On the large beads:
Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our souls.
On the small beads:
My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Your Holy Wounds.
