June 16

O Jesus, Saint Lutgardis had a deep prayer life that led to a special devotion for Your sacred wounds.  In her late teens she received her first vision, and later during ecstasies, blood sometimes dripped from her forehead.  I ask her to obtain for me through her prayers a higher level of devotion to Your Passion.  Help me to see Your suffering when I look upon a crucifix or receive the Eucharist.  And teach me to understand more fully that it is through Your wounds I am healed and without Your death there would be no resurrection.  Take my own wounds, O Jesus, and give me new life.  Saint Lutgardis, pray for me.  Amen.
