"Send us your prayer intentions"

In today's episode of "Jesus, You Take Over!", i will be speaking about the powerful devotion to the Shoulder Wound of Jesus Christ.

The Devotion to the Shoulder Wound of Jesus Christ honours the hidden wound Christ suffered from carrying the Cross. Tradition says He revealed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux that this was His most painful, unrecorded wound. The devotion expresses love, reparation, and a desire to share in Christ’s suffering.

The Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ

Most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a 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 toward Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen.

Pope Eugenius III, at the earnest request of St. Bernard, has granted three thousand years Indulgence to all who with a contrite heart, recite the Lord's Prayer and Hail Mary 3 times, in honour of the Wound on the Shoulder of Our Blessed Redeemer.

The 9 Promises of the Holy Wound of the Shoulder of our Blessed Saviour Jesus Christ...as given to a French Mystic and Visionary, Marie-Julie Jahenny, for those who honour devotion to the Sacred Wound of the Shoulder:

1.  “I will bless all the souls who propagate this devotion: I grant them abundant graces.” 

2.  “O souls who love Me, who propagate this devotion, I take you under My protection; I keep you under the mantle of My affection.” 

3.  “I will dispel the darkness that will come to their heart.” 

4.  “I will console them in their pains. I will come in the midst of their greatest afflictions… to enlighten, to comfort them.” 

5.  “I will come to bless them in their undertakings.” 

6.  “I will give them a tender love for the Cross. I will come to assist them at the time of death with this Cross and I will introduce them into My Heavenly Kingdom.” 

7.  “I will sweeten their agony… I will come at the hour of death. I will console them in their passage… Especially at the hour of death, I will come to give them a sweet moment of calm and tranquillity. I will tell them, O good Holy Soul, who has spread this devotion… come to receive the reward of your labours… the fruit of blessing.” 

8.  “I will shelter them, I will assist them, I will console all the souls that seek to propagate this Sacred Wound. At the time of death, I will console the souls that have compensated me by their devotion and compassion to the Wound so deep and painful. I will come to strengthen them in their final fears. I will come and prepare their passage… Thank you, you who have compensated Me for My pains.” 

9.  “See,” Jesus said, pointing to His Sacred Wound with extreme tenderness, “all My children who have recognized this Wound, who have venerated it, have prayed to it, will have on the Last Day a great and generous reward. I do not simply show it, I pronounce it. My Word is Divine.” 

These promises confirm the importance of meditating upon Christ’s Shoulder Wound and spreading devotion to it. 

Thank you, listeners. Stay safe and God bless! 😇🙏❤

Jesus is LORD! ✝️
