"BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED" (Isaiah 53:5). Our wounds take us to God.
It is in the giving of our deep woundedness that we enter into the "clefts" and the "crags" (His Hands and His Feet and His Side) of His Sacred Wounds.
He asks us to give our wounds to Him to allow Him to heal them. If we hold on to our woundedness, we deny Him this reason for His suffering on the Cross and His Death into Resurrection, His and so, ours.
Christ Jesus addresses us:
"O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the crags of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your countenance is lovely" (Song of Solomon 2:14).

Powerful images and profound meaning. Thank you.
