I kiss the wounds

A fellow Carmelite sent me this prayer-poem, with which I was unfamiliar, I thought I would share it. It has a very Carmelite tone.

‘I kiss the Wounds of Your Sacred Head,

with sorrow deep and true,

may every thought of my mind today

be an act of perfect love for You.

 

I kiss the Wounds of Your Sacred Feet,

with sorrow deep and true,

may every step I take today

be an act of perfect love for You.

 

I kiss the Wounds of Your Sacred Hands,

with sorrow deep and true,

may every touch of my hands today

be an act of perfect love for You.

 

I kiss the Wound of Your Sacred Shoulder,

with sorrow deep and true,

may every cross I bear today

be an act of perfect love for You

 

I kiss the Wounds of Your Sacred Heart,

with sorrow deep and true,

may every beat of my heart today

be an act of perfect love for You’
