Salutations
of the Wounds of Jesus Christ
When St. Gertrude had recited this prayer 5,466 times, in honor
of all the Wounds of our Lord Jesus, He appeared to her in vision, having on
each Wound a rose flashing with a golden splendor, and greeted her tenderly,
saying: "Behold, I will appear to thee, in this refulgent form at the hour
of thy death, and I will cover all thy sins, and adorn thee with a glory, like
that with which thou hast adorned My Wounds by thy salutations; and all who use
this or any similar devotion shall receive the like favor." In order to
make up this number, and become a partaker of this promise of Christ, you may
say the following prayer five times a day for three years, adding the oblation,
which our Lord directed to Saint Mechtilde to repeat after each division of
five.
SALUTATIONS
Glory be to Thee, most gracious, sweetest, most benign, sovereign,
transcending, effulgent, and ever peaceful Trinity, for the roseate Wounds of
Jesus Christ, my chosen and only love.
OBLATION
(To be
said alter each five repetitions.)
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God,
accept this prayer, with that surpassing love, with which Thou didst endure all
the Wounds of Thy most Holy Body. Have mercy on me, and on all sinners, and on
all the Faithful, living and departed. Grant them grace and mercy, remission of
sins and everlasting life. Amen.
