Five Interior Wounds of Christ

[Didi]

I was reading a meditation yesterday during Eucharistic adoration and came across a phrase I had not heard before. It was from “Praying to Jesus with the Heart of Mary.” The meditation was focusing on the five exterior wounds of Christ and the five interior wounds of Christ, for which Isaiah 53 was referenced.

As I read Isaiah 53, I’m unclear as to what the five interior wounds might be, noting that Jesus was: despised, rejected, grief-stricken, oppressed, afflicted, sorrowful.

When I think of His passion and death, He was also betrayed, abandoned, misunderstood, humiliated and mocked.

Does anyone know of other references for His five interior wounds and the possible sources for this?

Wow, this is incredible. I have not heard of Luisa Piccarreta before – is she a blessed on her way to sainthood? Have only read portions but will return to read the entire excerpt.

Thanks and God bless!

Great points on the number 5.

I will add this to my list of what numbers symbolize in Scripture.

God bless,

The purpose of this compilation is to provide information on the visionary Luisa Piccarreta, her writings and on the Kingdom of the Divine Will movement. Possibly due to bad translations, noted theologians, including Fr. William Most and Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., have found that the underlying premises of Luisa’s writings are not consistent with the magisterial teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. Presently her writings are being studied by the Church. Latest Official Information about Luisa Piccarreta ( Excerpt taken form the document) (In 1998 the now retired Archbishop of Trani, Carmelo Cassati, ordered the suspension in the United States of Divine Will Conferences, because of the controversies noted earlier)

As for the status of the writings with the Holy See, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith affirmed the following in a letter to EWTN of 4 October 2003,

The writings of Luisa Piccarreta have not been judged by this Dicastery: as such they enjoy neither the official approbation, nor the official condemnation, of this Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In fact, they are currently being studied, by reason of competence, by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, after this Servant of God,* independently of the content of her writings,* received the nihil obstat of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith regarding her cause for beatification.

As such, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith makes, at this time, no pronouncement on the writings in question.
