Sheltered in Jesus' Holy Wounds

Jesus, my God, I love You above all!

Sheltered in Jesus' Holy Wounds

Promises of Jesus

Be like a little butterfly and fly into My Heart.
When a soul flies deep into this wound of Mine and dwells there, it is well sheltered.

My wounds will heal your wounds.

When you have a difficulty or something to suffer, bring it quickly into My holy wounds, and the difficulty will be easier to bear.

All your actions, however insignificant they may be, gain infinite value when dipped in My Blood and gladden My Heart.

The treasury of the holy wounds contains crowns that you must take and give to others.
You can do this when you offer the holy wounds to My Father, so that through them the wounds of all souls may be healed.

With the sick, the invocation must often be repeated:
"My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of Thy holy wounds!"
This prayer will bring relief to soul and body.

My wounds will cover all your faults.

At every word you say in the Chaplet of Mercy, I let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul of a sinner.

For the soul that expires in My wounds, there is no death; My wounds give it true life.

The more you have contemplated My painful wounds in prayer on earth, the more you will behold them in all their beauty in heaven.

For the souls in purgatory, the holy wounds are a blessing:
Through them grace descends from heaven and leads the souls upward to heaven.

From the revelations of Jesus to Sr. Mary Martha Chambon.

Poem

One night upon my bed of pain,
I had to weep from my whole heart.
Through tears I wondered to myself,
what has made me suffer so?
Like Job I am broken and full of wounds,
O who invented such suffering?

Suddenly I see in spirit an image.
It is the Lord upon the Cross so gentle.
"O Savior, what have You done wrong,
that they have pierced You so?"

With kindness He looks at me.
"My child, the sin of mankind has done this.
Lay your little head against My divine Heart,
then we are two united in suffering.
Thus you help Me in love to repay
to the Father in heaven the sins of the world."

Illumined by the divine radiance,
my sorrow suddenly becomes quite small.
O I cannot grasp it and yet it is true,
the Savior is so near to me just in suffering.

You too, my soul, need not despair.
Jesus helps you also to carry your little cross.
Just lay your wounds into His,
so you are never alone in suffering.

Up in heaven our wounds shine like suns
and will be repaid with eternal joys.

This poem is not merely conceived,
the Comforter Spirit has just made it for you.
(Capuchin Sisters of Perpetual Adoration)

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I entrust and offer unto You the United Hearts of JESUS and MARY, the victorious bleeding wounds of Jesus, and the tears of our dear Heavenly Mother Mary.
I place my thoughts, words, works, steps, actions, my cells, tissues, vessels, blood drops, nerves, glands, bones and organs into the United Hearts of JESUS and MARY.
Lord, Thy will be done!

Chaplet of Mercy through the Holy Wounds of Jesus

Use an ordinary rosary and begin with the following prayer:

O Jesus, divine Redeemer, be gracious and merciful to us and to the whole world! Amen.
Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world! Amen.
Grace and mercy, O my Jesus, in the present dangers, cover us with Your precious Blood! Amen.
Eternal Father, we implore You, show us mercy through the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, Your dearly beloved Son. Amen.

On the large beads (once):

Eternal Father, I offer You the wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our souls.

On the small beads (10 times):

My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Thy holy wounds.

At the end (3 times):

Eternal Father, I offer You the wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal the wounds of our souls.
