The invocations of the Holy Wounds will obtain an incessant victory for the Church. Promises of Our Lord Given to St. Gertrude for those Who Honor His Holy Wounds: One day as St. Gertrude was completing her prayers and salutations in honor of the Wounds of the Savior, her compassion was rewarded by a vision of Our Lord, on whose Wounds rested golden roses. Our Lord said to her: "Behold, I will appear to you in this refulgent form at the hour of your death, and I will cover all your sins, and adorn you with a glory like that with which you have adorned My Wounds by your salutations. All who do so shall receive the like favor." From the brochure: "Sr. M. Martha Chambon and the Holy Wounds of Our Lord." The devotion to the Holy Wounds and the following promises were revealed by Our Lord Jesus to Sr. Mary Martha Chambon (1841-1907) of the Monastery of the Visitation of Chambery. The cause for her beatification was introduced in 1937. * Litany of the Holy Wounds Reality of Hell, Heaven, Purgatory.

Book 4. Chapter 35

Before the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord, St Gertrude repeated this salutation five thousand four hundred and sixty-six times:[5466] Glory be to Thee, most sweet, most gentle, most benign, most noble, most excellent, effulgent and ever-peaceful Trinity, for the roseate wounds of my only Love!" As she repeated this salutation, Our Lord Jesus appeared to her, more beautiful than Angels, bearing golden flowers on each Wound, and saluted her thus with a serene countenance and the tenderest charity: Behold in what glory I now appear to you, I will appear in the same manner to you at your death, and will cover all the stains of your sins, and of those who also salute My Wounds with the same devotion.

Book 3. Chapter 41. Prayer composed by Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, which He promised to hear favorably.

On a similar occasion, as the Community recited the Canticle Benedicite, (Dan. 3) adding to each verse prayers proper for the occasion, Gertrude perceived Our Lord standing before her; and at each verse which they recited, prostrate and imploring pardon, He appeared to raise His left arm, and offer her the Wound of His adorable Side to kiss. As the Saint embraced it several times, Our Lord testified that this mark of her love was extremely agreeable to Him. Then she said to Him: "Since I perceive, my most loving Lord, that Thou art pleased with this devotion, do me the favor of teaching me some little prayer which Thou wilt receive with a like charity, when it shall be addressed to Thee devoutly by anyone". Then she knew by inspiration, that if anyone shall say these words five times with devotion:

"Jesus, Savior of the world, have mercy on me! - Thou to whom nothing is impossible, save to refuse mercy to the wretched," or "O Christ, Who by Thy Cross hast redeemed the world, hear us!" or "Hail, Jesus, my loving Spouse! I salute Thee in the ineffable joys of Thy Divinity; I embrace Thee with the affection of all creatures and I kiss the Sacred Wound of Thy love"; or "The Lord is my strength and my glory: He is my salvation"

- If these words are recited in honor of the Five Wounds of the Lord, kissing them devoutly, adding some prayers or good works, and offering them through the sweetest Heart of Jesus Christ, which is the organ of the Most Holy Trinity, they will be as acceptable to God as the most arduous devotion.

On another occasion, also, when they recited the same Canticle, Our Lord appeared to her, making burning flames, to pour forth from the crucifix which was usually exposed before the community, and sending them up to God for them; manifesting to her the excessive love and ardent desire of His Heart, when He interceded with His Father for the welfare of this congregation.

 Book. 3. Chapter 54. Prayer composed by the Saint.

Gertrude having been bled some time after the Fast, she was frequently heard uttering these words: "O King, of all kings the most excellent! O illustrious Prince!" with other of similar import; and as she recollected herself one morning in the place where she usually prayed, she said to God: "O most Loving Lord, what wilt Thou that I should do with these words which so often present themselves to my mind and my lips?" Then Our Lord showed her a golden collar, composed of four parts, which He held in His Hands. But as the Saint did not know what these four parts signified. He made known to her in spirit that the first part represented the Divinity of Christ; the second the Soul of Christ; the third, every faithful soul whom He had espoused in His own Blood; and the fourth, the pure and immaculate Body of Christ. She knew also that the reason why the faithful soul was placed in this collar, between the Soul and the Body of Jesus Christ, was to show with what indissoluble love the Savior had united the faithful soul to His own Body and Soul. and suddenly she was inspired with these words in rapture, at the sight of this collar.

Prayer.
"Thou art the life of my soul! May all the desires of my heart be united to Thee by Thy burning love! May they languish and die whenever they turn to any object apart from Thee; for Thou art the beauty of all colors, the sweetness of all taste, the fragrance of all odors, the harmony of all sounds, the charm of all embraces! In these is the voluptuousness of delight; from Thee flows forth a torrent of love; to Thee are all drawn by Thy powerful attractions; and by Thee all receive the sweet influences of love! Thou art the overflowing Abyss of the Divinity! O King, greater than all kings! Supreme Emperor, sovereign Prince, peaceful Ruler, faithful Protector! Thou art the vivifying gem of human nobility with the noblest sentiments! Thou art Worker full of skill, a Master of full clemency, a Counselor full of wisdom, a Defender full of kindness, a Friend most faithful! Thou art the sweet savor of all delights! O gentle caresser, whose touch imparts healing! O ardent Lover, sweet and chaste Spouse! Thou art the Spring-flower of unchanging beauty! O Loving Brother, beautiful Youth, joyful Companion, liberal Host, careful Admisinstrator! I prefer Thee to every creature; for Thee I renounce all pleasures; for Thee I seek all adversity; and in all this I desire only Thy glory. My heart and lips testify that Thou art the quickener of all good. I unite, by the merit of Thy love, the fervor of my devotions to the virtue of Thy prayers, so that by the power of this Divine union I may be raised to the highest perfection, and all rebellious movements may be calmed within me."

All these sentences seemed like so many brilliant stones separately enchased in the gold of this collar. On the following Sunday, as Gertrude assisted at the Mass at which she was to communicate, and recite this prayer with much devotion, she perceived that Our Lord was pleased with it, and she said to Him: "O most loving Lord, since I perceive that these words are so agreeable to Thee, I will advise as many persons as I can to offer it to Thee devoutly, as a precious collar of pearls." Our Lord replied: No one can give Me what is Mine, but whoever recites it devoutly shall feel his knowledge of Me increase, and shall receive light from My Divinity,
which shall be showered down on him by the efficacy of these words; even as they who hold a plate of polished metal to the sun behold therein the reflection of its light. The Saint immediately felt the effect of these words, for as soon as she had recited this prayer she perceived that the surface of her soul became radiant with Divine light, and she found an increase of sweetness and pleasure in Divine things.
