Prayer to the Shoulder Wound of Christ

O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I 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 towards Heaven
along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen
