Jesus, by Your five holy wounds,
Deliver us, O Lord.
By the wound in Your left hand,

Deliver us, O Lord.
By the wound in Your left foot,
Deliver us, O Lord.

Most precious wounds of Christ,
We adore You.

We venerate You.
Most merciful wounds of Christ,
We plead for Your mercy.
Most sacred wounds of Christ,
We offer our hearts to You.

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.

Let us pray:
Almighty and eternal God, You will that Your Son, Jesus Christ, should be wounded for our sins. Through His most holy wounds, we ask You to heal our souls and bodies, and grant us the grace to imitate His virtues. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.


This Litany is a powerful way to meditate on the wounds of Christ, which were the means of our salvation. Each invocation invites us to reflect on His love, suffering, and sacrifice. Let me know if you would like to reflect more on this or any other prayers.
