Prayer of Saint Clare to the Holy Wounds of Jesus

Glory and Praise be to You,
Most loving Jesus Christ,
for the Most Sacred Wound in Your Own Side.
By that Adorable and Holy Wound
You made known to the soldier Longinus,
in the opening he made in Your Side,
Your infinite mercy.

O most gentle Jesus I ask You, that,
having redeemed me by Baptism from the stain of original sin,
do now by Your Precious Blood,
which is offered and which is received throughout the world,
deliver me from all evils, past, present and to come.

By Your most bitter death
give me a lively faith, firm hope and a perfect charity,
that with my whole heart I may love You
with all my soul and strength.
Make me persevere in Your service,
firm and steadfast in good works,
so that I may be always able to please You,
my Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
