You would like to pray the Chaplet of the Holy Wounds of Christ. You have a very deep love for Our Lord's Passion, and would love to meditate more deeply upon it. Christ paid a Great Price for the sins of humanity, and you want to have a very intimate, Holy relationship with Him.

  2. 2
    Make the Sign of the Cross: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
