"See My hands and feet, that it is I Myself" (Luke 24, 39).
Prelude:
Behold the glorified Saviour, His sacred wounds radiating on all sides dazzling beams of light.
Affections:
O adorable wounds, so dear to our Blessed Saviour, with tender devotion, gratitude, and love, I salute and venerate you! In union with all the angels and saints I praise and extol the merciful Lord, for you proclaim anew His great love for men! O holy wounds, you are my refuge and my repose. You are my light; in your school I will seek counsel. You are my strength; from you I will draw comfort in tribulations. You are furnaces of love; with humble confidence I will draw near that my heart may be inflamed. I will draw the waters of grace from the Saviour's fountains with exceeding joy that I may one day behold these sacred wounds glorified and transfigured, and find therein a never-ending source of love and bliss.
Jesus Mercy! Mary Help!
