Glorious wounds
Resurrected wounds, 
Beautiful wounds,
Triumphant wounds.

Vulnerable wounds,
Pleading wounds,
Screaming wounds,
Silent wounds,
Wounds that will never close.

Welcoming wounds,
Wounds that hold your love,
Wounds that lavish your love.

Forgiving wounds,
Healing wounds, 
Everlasting wounds,
my name carved in your hand.

Holy wounds touching my wounds,
Sacred wounds embracing my wounds,
Wounds exchanging blood, exchanging self, becoming one.


"By rising with his glorious wounds, when Christ pleads for us with the Father, he may always show the manner of death he endured for us" - Venerable Bede
