HOLY WOUNDS!!

O! That GREAT WOUND which made a scar on the face of the evil

Wound me and put to death all that is unworthy of you;

Wound me with your LOVE that I may in turn become a wounded healer

And let me experience the pleasant and blessed sorrow that you endured

Until I learn that joy is mixed with sorrow and Truth is mingled with Error!

Oh! How nice to be wounded by Your Holy WOUNDS!

Oh! That great WOUND that healed all human wounds!

Oh! That blood and water flowed from your pierced side

You remain open as a great stream of healing

Then healing that WHOLENESS I seek

Remind me that seeking never exhausts and fully satisfies,

Yet seeking I shall take up,

For ever hungry is my soul, never at rest

Until YOU wound your beloved with an indelible wound!

Oh! How nice to be wounded by your Holy WOUNDS!
