Prayer Honoring the Shoulder Wound
This “Prayer Honoring the Shoulder Wound of Christ” invites us to contemplate a suffering of Our Lord that is often overlooked—the deep wound caused by the weight of the heavy Cross upon His sacred shoulder. Traditionally attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, this devotion draws our hearts to meditate on the immense physical agony Jesus endured as He carried the instrument of our salvation to Calvary. Through this prayer, we offer our adoration and gratitude to Christ for this hidden wound, asking for His mercy and the grace to follow Him faithfully on the Way of the Cross.
Our Lady of Lourdes Healing Prayer
The “Healing Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes” is an invocation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking for her powerful intercession in times of illness, suffering, and spiritual need. At Lourdes, Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette in 1858, and countless pilgrims have since experienced miraculous healings at this holy sanctuary. Recognizing her as the patron of the sick, we approach Mary in this powerful prayer and present our troubles and petitions into her loving, maternal hands. Whether you seek healing of body, mind, or soul, let this prayer draw you closer to her tender mercy and to the heart of her Son, Jesus Christ.
