THE
LITTLE CHAPLET OF THE FIVE WOUNDS OF JESUS CRUCIFIED
from St. Alphonsus Liguori
This chaplet, approved by the Holy See on 11 August 1823
(coincidentally, the anniversary of St. Clare's death), consists
of five groups of five beads -- each group representing one of
the Five Wounds. The first group of beads honors the Wound on
His left foot; the second, the Wound on His right foot; the
third, the Wound on His left Hand; the fourth, the wound on His
right Hand; and the fifth, the Wound in His Side. Sometimes a
medal will be attached depicting Our Lord's Wounds on one side,
and His Sorrowful Mother on the other.
While meditating on the appropriate Wound at each group, one
Gloria is said on each bead, and between the groups, an Ave is
said in honor of Mary's sorrows.
I. O my Lord Jesus Christ, I adore the wound in Thy left foot. I
thank Thee for having suffered it for me with so much sorrow and
with so much love. I compassionate Thy pain, and that of Thine
afflicted Mother. And, by the merit of this sacred wound, I pray
Thee to grant me the pardon of my sins, of which I repent with
all my heart, because they have offended Thine infinite
goodness. O sorrowing Mary, pray to Jesus for me.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory, etc.
By all the wounds which Thou didst bear
With so much love and so much pain,
Oh, let a sinner's prayer
Thy mercy, Lord, obtain!
II. O my Lord Jesus Christ, I adore the wound in Thy right foot.
I thank Thee for having suffered it for me with so much sorrow
and with so much love. I compassionate Thy pain, and that of
Thine afflicted Mother. And, by the merit of this sacred wound,
I pray Thee to give me the strength not to fall into mortal sin
for the future, but to persevere in Thy grace unto my death. O
sorrowing Mary, pray to Jesus for me.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory, etc.
By all the wounds which Thou didst bear
With so much love and so much pain,
Oh, let a sinner's prayer
Thy mercy, Lord, obtain!
III. O my Lord Jesus Christ, I adore the wound in Thy left hand.
I thank Thee for having suffered it for me with so much sorrow
and with so much love. I compassionate Thy pain, and that of
Thine afflicted Mother. And, by the merit of this sacred wound,
I pray Thee to deliver me from Hell, which I have so often
deserved, where I could never love Thee more. O sorrowing Mary,
pray to Jesus for me.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory, etc.
By all the wounds which Thou didst bear
With so much love and so much pain,
Oh, let a sinner's prayer
Thy mercy, Lord, obtain!
IV. O my Lord Jesus Christ, I adore the wound in Thy right hand.
I thank Thee for having suffered it for me with so much sorrow
and with so much love. I compassionate Thy pain, and that of Thy
most afflicted Mother. And, by the merit of this sacred wound, I
pray Thee to give me the glory of Paradise, where I shall love
Thee perfectly, and with all my strength. O sorrowing Mary, pray
to Jesus for me.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory, etc.
By all the wounds which Thou didst bear
With so much love and so much pain,
Oh, let a sinner's prayer
Thy mercy, Lord, obtain!
V. O my Lord Jesus Christ, I adore the wound in Thy side. I
thank Thee for having willed, even after Thy death, to suffer
this additional injury, without pain indeed, yet with consummate
love. I compassionate Thine afflicted Mother, who alone felt all
its pain. And, by the merit of this sacred wound, I pray Thee to
bestow upon me the gift of holy love for Thee, that so I may
ever love Thee in this life, and in the other, face to face, for
all eternity, in Paradise. O sorrowing Mary, pray to Jesus for
me.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory, etc.
By all the wounds which Thou didst bear
With so much love and so much pain,
Oh, let a sinner's prayer
Thy mercy, Lord, obtain!
