Reflection on Sacred Wounds: Chest

The Crucifixion
Source: St. John Gospel
"32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.

33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."



Jesus Christ died on the cross,
Tremors spread over earth,
Tremors crossed over the hills,
The sky stunned gloomy,
The wind howled in despair,
The clouds darkened in mourning,
The creation stood still,
In seeing savior dead,
The veil in tabernacle,
The veil between God and man tore,
They pierced his side,
There gushed forth out blood and water,
The covenant of blood on salvation,
The covenant of water on baptism,
The springs of rivers of mercy,
Gushed out of Savior chest,
The most sacred heart of Jesus revealed,
The salvation of human,
Complete!
