O divine wounds of Jesus, you who bear the sacred marks of the great sacrifice, I prostrate myself before you in humility and gratitude. At this solemn moment, I turn to you with a contrite heart, acknowledging the infinite price paid for our redemption.
In your hands, O Jesus, I see the marks of the nails that pierced your holy flesh. May these wounds be for me a constant reminder of your unconditional love, your infinite generosity and your ability to transform pain into hope. May I always feel your comforting presence, even in the midst of my own torment.
At your feet, I contemplate the wounds caused by the nails that fastened you to the cross. May these wounds be the path on which I walk in my own life, guiding me towards truth, justice and compassion. Grant me the strength to follow in your footsteps, even when the path seems dark and uncertain.
In your open side, O Jesus, I see the fountain of eternal life gushing forth for the salvation of the world. May this wound be for me a fountain of grace and mercy, inviting me to draw with full hands from the waters of your infinite love. May I always be nourished by your life-giving presence and guided by your Holy Spirit.
On your head, O Jesus, I contemplate the wounds inflicted by the crown of thorns. May these wounds be the symbol of your heavenly royalty, a royalty forged in humility and service. May I recognise your sovereignty in every aspect of my life and bow before you with a docile and obedient heart.
In your shoulders, O Jesus, I recognise the burden of the world's sins that you bore with infinite love. May these wounds be for me an invitation to abandon my own burdens into your compassionate hands, knowing that you are always there to support and strengthen me in my trials.
O Jesus, may each of your wounds be for me a sign of your infinite love, a source of consolation and strength in times of doubt and despair. May I always turn to you with confidence, knowing that your wounds were the price of my redemption and that your love is stronger than death itself.
Amen.
