"I had on My Shoulder while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grevious Wound which was more painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound with thy devotion, and I will grant thee whatsoever thou does 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"
O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder 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.
Our Lord bearing this unrecorded burden for us has touched my heart and soul so greatly. Whatever I must do in my days..., I offer it up for His shoulder wound. In doing so, I feel blessed that my Lord has allowed me to comfort Him; therefore, He comforts me.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, that is so beautiful. Our sufferings can be the biggest blessings if we use them to comfort our dear Savior. Sometimes, I forget that. May the Lord bless you and be with you.
