Rosary of the Holy Wounds

Rosary of the Holy Wounds

The Rosary of the Holy Wounds (also called the "Chaplet of Holy Wounds") is a specific form of Roman Catholic prayer, said on the usual rosary beads. Like some other "rosary based prayers" (such as the Chaplet of Divine Mercy) it uses the usual rosary beads, but does not include the usual mysteries of the rosary.

The "Rosary of the Holy Wounds" was first introduced at the beginning of the 20th century by the Venerable Sister Mary Martha Chambon, a Roman Catholic nun of the "Monastery of the Visitation Order" in Chambery, France. [Ann Ball, 2003 "Encyclopedia of Catholic Devotions and Practices" ISBN 087973910X] She is currently awaiting beatification.

She reported that Jesus appeared to her and asked her to unite her sufferings with His as an Act of Reparation for the sins of the world. [Michael Freze, 1993, "Voices, Visions, and Apparitions", OSV Publishing ISBN 087973454X] She attributed this form of Rosary to Jesus during her Visions of Jesus Christ, saying that Jesus considered it an important Act of Reparation for his wounds in Calvary. She reported that Jesus told her:

:"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 . . . The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory." [G. P. Geoghegan, 2006, "A Collection of My Favorite Prayers" ISBN 9781411694576 ]
