THE HOLY WOUNDS CHAPLET

Sister Marie (Mary) Martha Chambon was a lay sister of the Monastery of the Visitation who died in Chambery, France in 1907. She reported visions of Jesus Christ who taught her specific prayers and meditations on His wounds. Some of her prayers have received the imprimatur of Archbishop Albert G. Meyer.

Read about her in her book (Mystic of the Holy Wounds: The Life and Revelations of Sister Mary Martha Chambon)

She reported that Jesus asked her to unite her sufferings with His as an Act of Reparation for the sins of the world. He gave her 17 promises and also told her:

"Come to My Wounds with hearts burning with love, and make the aspirations with great fervor that you may obtain the graces and favors you desire. Come to this wound in My Side; it is the Wound of Love from which issue flames of fire. You must pray that the knowledge of My Sacred Wounds may spread in the world". (As He said these words, Sr. Marie (Mary) Martha saw five luminous rays of glory issue from the Wounds of Christ, and envelop the globe.)  

"My Holy Wounds sanctify souls and insure their spiritual advancement...Offer Me your actions united to My Sacred Wounds, and even the smallest will have an incomprehensible value. Offer them often to Me for sinners because I thirst for souls. At each word of the invocation that you utter, I will let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul of a sinner."  

Sister Marie (Mary) Martha was granted a vision in which she saw Jesus holding a cup full of His Precious Blood and how He placed a drop of His Blood in different souls, including the souls of her mother and father. This brought great consolation to Sister Marie-Marthe. Jesus then told her: “The graces that I bestow in this manner are never lost.”

Sister Martha Chambon had great zeal for souls, especially the dying. Jesus told her:

“You must offer the merits of the Holy Wounds for persons who die in the night or during the course of the day.” Jesus told her of this great gift He had given to her community: “Behold your treasure. The treasure of the Holy Wounds encloses crowns which you should take and give to others. One day these souls for whom you shall have obtained a holy death by your prayers, will turn towards you to thank you. All men shall appear before Me on the judgment day, and I shall then point out My privileged Spouses, who shall have purified the world by My Holy Wounds.”

“You should not remain poor. Your wealth?... It is My Holy Passion. This treasure belongs to you. My Father takes pleasure in the offering of my Holy Wounds offering them to Him is offering Him His Own Glory, it is offering Heaven to Heaven! My Holy Wounds support the world.”

“My Holy Wounds sustain the world. Love them because they are fountains of all graces. Invoke them frequently and invite your neighbor to do the same for the benefit of the souls.”

'When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief.”

Another practice of Saint Mary Martha was offering her actions in union with the Holy Wounds for the conversion of sinners and for the souls in purgatory. In this way, she obtained the release of many souls. The chaplet of the Holy Wounds is a very efficacious way of helping the poor souls. Jesus told her once: 

“My daughter, look at my Wounds, offer them for the souls in Purgatory. The sufferings of My Holy Passion, behold the great remedy for these souls; but its merits must be applied to them.”

“The benefit of the Holy Wounds makes graces come down from Heaven, and Holy Souls come up onto Heaven. The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory.”

"I would like to see all my Spouses be 'Crucifixes.' My daughter, look at My Crown, and you shall see mortification, My hands stretched out, and you shall learn obedience, you shall understand poverty when you see Me all unclothed on the Cross, purity in the One who is so pure and who loves you as your Spouse! Everywhere, you will find Wounds in your Spouse. This is where those I have chosen and who want to attain glory must walk. I want you to be a standing victim!"

"The way of My Wounds is so simple, so easy to reach Heaven!”

“In truth, this devotion comes not from earth but from heaven. It can obtain everything.”

“The devotion to My Holy Wounds is the remedy in this time of iniquity.”

Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich’s visions of the Church and the Holy Wounds:

“On it hung the Savior from whose wounds shot brilliant rays over the whole earth. These glorious wounds were red like resplendent doorways, their center golden-yellow like the sun. He wore no crown of thorns, but from all the wounds of His head streamed rays. Those from His hands, feet, and side were fine as hair and shone with rainbow colors; sometimes they all united and fell upon villages, cities, and houses throughout the world. I saw them (the rays) here and there, far and near, falling upon the dying, and then souls entering by the colored rays into the Savior’s wounds.”

Beginning Prayer Asking for Help of the Holy Souls: Holy suffering souls, who can obtain so many graces for us, remember me in the midst of your sufferings. I will work unceasingly to obtain for you the joys of heaven, and I know you will plead for me.

Promises of Our Lord for Those Who Practice this Devotion:

At each word that you pronounce of the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds, I allow a drop of My Blood to fall upon the soul of a sinner.

Each time that you offer to My Father the merits of My divine Wounds, you win an immense fortune.

Souls that will have contemplated and honored My crown of thorns on earth, will be My crown of glory in Heaven!

I will grant all that is asked of Me through the invocation of My Holy Wounds. This devotion must be spread. You will obtain everything, because it is through the merit of My Blood, which is of infinite price. With My Wounds and My Divine Heart, everything can be obtained.

From My Wounds proceed fruits of sanctity. As gold purified in the crucible becomes more beautiful, so you must put your soul and those of your companions into My sacred Wounds; there they will become perfected as gold in the furnace. You can always purify yourself in My Wounds.

My Wounds will repair yours. My Wounds will cover all your faults. Those who honor them will have a true knowledge of Jesus Christ. In meditation on them, you will always find a new love. My Wounds will cover all your sins.

Plunge your actions into My Wounds and they will be of value. All your actions, even the least, soaked in My Blood, will acquire by this alone an infinite merit and will please My Heart.

In offering My Wounds for the conversion of sinners, even though the sinners are not converted, you will have the same merit before God as if they were.

When you have some trouble, something to suffer, quickly place it in My Wounds, and the pain will be alleviated.

This aspiration must often be repeated near the sick: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of Your Holy Wounds!" This prayer will solace soul and body.

A sinner who will say the following prayer will obtain conversion: "Eternal Father, I offer You the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls."

There will be no death for the soul that expires in My Holy Wounds; they give true life.

This chaplet is a counterpoise to My justice; it restrains My vengeance.

Those who pray with humility and who meditate on My Passion, will one day participate in the glory of My divine Wounds.

The more you will have contemplated My painful Wounds on this earth, the higher will be your contemplation of them glorious in Heaven.

The soul who during life has honored the Wounds of our Lord Jesus Christ and has offered them to the Eternal Father for the Souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on the Cross, all brilliant in glory, will receive her and crown her.

The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the Church.

My Holy Wounds support the world ask me to love them constantly, for they are the source of graces. One must invoke them often, attract others to them and instill this devotion in the souls.

Promises from Jesus to Barnabas Nwoye:

I will heal the wounds of their hearts, those who adore My Sacred Head through this Crown.

I will console those who console Me through this Crown.

I will open the ocean of the Divine Mercy on those who adore the wounds of My Sacred Head through this Crown.

All who adore the Most Precious Blood from My Sacred Head through this Crown will receive the grace of Divine Wisdom.

I will guard their five senses.

When you touch this Crown with love, I will allow a drop of My Blood to fall on your head.

I will renew the love of a repented sinner who can mercifully adore My Sacred Head with this Crown.

There is always a sprinkle of My Most Precious Blood wherever this thorn is, I am not far; I am near.

I will crown his head with a victorious crown, anyone who adores the Sacred Wounds and Blood of My Sacred Head through this Crown.

I promise to show them My Sacred Head one day before they die, all who love their crown and adore My Sacred Head through it, so as to have perfect knowledge of their sins and repent.

On 15 September 2001, Our Lady asked her Son Jesus to bless the Crown of Thorns with healing power.

The NINE PROMISES of the HOLY WOUND OF THE SHOULDER OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOR:

Devotion revealed to Marie-Julie Jahenny 

(mystic approved in 1875).

                                    ******

Our Lord showed her this gaping, open Wound and revealed its depth: 

“The Pain is incomprehensible in the hearts of My children! How this devotion pleases and consoles Me, how often have the prayers of these Wounds risen to My Heart and have torn (open) the (way of) salvation for souls entrusted to Hell.” (May 17, 1878)   

(That is, devotion to the Holy Wound has saved souls from damnation by granting the graces for salvation.)  

Promises and graces revealed to Marie-Julie Jahenny for those who honour His Sacred Wound of the Shoulder:

1 - “I will bless all the souls who propagate this devotion: I grant them abundant graces.” (March 29, 1878)

2 - “O souls who love Me, who propagate this devotion, I take you under My protection, I keep you under the mantle of My affection.” (March 29, 1878)

3 - “I will dispel the darkness that will come to their heart.” (December 28, 1877)

4 - “I will console them in their pains.” “I will come in the midst of their greatest afflictions, to enlighten, to comfort them.” (February 8, 1878) (28 December 1877, February 8 and April 12, 1878)

5 - “I will come to bless them in their undertakings.” (March 29, 1878)

6 - “I will give them a tender love for the Cross. I will come to assist them at the time of death, with this cross and I will introduce them into My Heavenly Kingdom.” (April 12, 1878)

7 - “I will sweeten their agony.” (December 28, 1877). “I will come at the hour of death. I will console them in their passage.” (February 8, 1878).  

 “Especially at the hour of death, I will come to give them a sweet moment of calm and tranquillity. I will tell them: 'O good holy soul, who has spread this devotion (knowing) that I had so much at heart that it be made known, come to receive the reward of your labours, the fruit of blessing.'.” (March 29, 1878)

8 - “I will shelter them, I will assist them, I will console all the souls that seek to propagate this Sacred Wound. At the time of death, I will console the souls that have compensated Me by their devotion and compassion to the Wound so deep and painful. I will come to strengthen them in their final fears. I will come and prepare their passage: Thank you, you who have compensated Me for My pains.” (May 17,1878)

9 - “See,” Jesus said, pointing to His Sacred Wound with extreme tenderness, “all My children who have recognised this Wound, who have venerated it, have prayed to it, will have on the Last Day a great and generous reward. I do not simply show it, I pronounce it. My Word is Divine.” (May 17, 1878)

:::::::::

It is related in the annals of Clairvaux that St. Bernard asked Our Lord which was His greatest unrecorded suffering and Our Lord answered: "I had on My Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous Wound, which was more painful than the others and which is not recorded by men. Honor this Wound with thy devotion and I will grant thee whatsoever thou dost ask through Its virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins and will no longer remember their mortal sins."

This revelation and promise of Our Dear Savior is another proof of His unlimited mercy. You are urged to say these prayers daily and to promulgate this prayer on a continuous basis, so that others may share in this blessing.

PRAYER TO THE SHOULDER WOUND OF OUR LORD JESUS: "O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I a 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 and supply for me everything I need and look for from Thine infinite Mercy (especially …). Amen.” 3x Hail Mary's.

Holy Mother, imprint in my heart and mind the wounds of the Crucified Jesus Christ and your seven sorrows. O Sweet Jesus, please do not be my Judge, be my Saviour.

Ejaculatory prayers and offerings of the Holy Wounds and Precious Blood:

“Ask My Father for as many souls as I shed drops of Blood during My Passion.”- Our Lord to Sr. Mary of St. Peter: Eternal Father, I ask of Thee as many souls as was the number of the drops of Blood as Thy Divine Son shed in His Passion, among the living, the dying and the souls in Purgatory - multiplied by the number of wounds Jesus bore on His Body and swords that pierced our Lady's Immaculate Heart. Amen.

(She [Sister Marie de Saint-Pierre] was given a vision of Hell and the multitude of souls falling in, and was invited to pray for poor sinners. Dec. 21, 1846). (the drops of blood which I lost were 28,430.)(St. Bridget was praying in the Church of St. Paul in Rome, Jesus appeared to her and said, “I received 5840 Wounds upon My Body.”)

An Offering of the Holy Wounds and Precious Blood: Eternal Father, I offer You the Holy Wounds of Your Divine Son, Jesus, and His Precious Blood, for the conversion of sinners and for the relief of the souls in Purgatory. (St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi learned from Our Lord to offer to the Eternal Father the Blood of His Divine Son. She made the offering 50 times a day, and in one of her ecstasies she saw a large number of sinners converted, and of souls delivered from Purgatory by this practice.) Jesus added: “Each time that a creature offers to My Father the Blood by which she has been redeemed, she offers Him a gift of infinite value.”
