O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder, on which Thou didst bear Thy most heavy Cross, which so tore Thy flesh and lay bear Thy bones as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most sacred ans painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen

“I had on my Shoulder, while I bore My Cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grevious Wound, which was more painful than the others, and which is not recorded by men. Honor this wound with thy devotion, and I will grant whatsoever thou dost ask through its virtue and merit. And in regard to all those who shall venerate this Wound, I will remit to them all their venial sins, and will no longer remember their mortal sins.”

- Our Lord to St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Because of St. Bernard’s humble petition, Pope Eugenius III granted 3,000 years indulgence to everyone who prays, with a contrite heart, the Our Father and Hail Mary 3 times, in honor of the Shoulder Wound of Jesus Christ.
