Why the Wounds of Christ Deserve Our Prayerful Devotion
Wounds speak far more eloquently than words. From the days of the early Church, Christians have held in special honor the wounds of Christ.
The wounds of Jesus associated with His passion and crucifixion — wounds on His hands, feet, side, back, and head, have been venerated as the channels through which His precious blood was shed for the salvation of the world.
On Good Friday, we “survey that wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died,” and, in the words of Isaac Watts, we “see from His head, His hands, His feet; Sorrow and love flow mingled down.” We sing of that “sacred head, sore wounded, defiled and put to scorn.”
