O most loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I, a miserable sinner, salute and worship the most sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy cross, which so tore Thy Flesh and laid bare Thy Bones so as to inflict on Thee an anguish greater than any other wound of Thy most blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give Thee thanks for this most sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the crushing burden of Thy heavy cross, to be merciful to me, a sinner, to forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on toward heaven along the Way of Thy Cross.
AmenPrayer to Our Lord’s Shoulder Wound
It is related in the annals of Clairvoux that St. Bernard asked our Lord which was His greatest unrecorded suffering. Our Lord answered him: “I had on My shoulder, while I bore My cross on the Way of Sorrows, a grievous wound which was more painful than the others, and which is not recorded by […]

DIDACHE (c. 80-90)
Of Fast-Days and Prayer
8. Do not keep the same fast-days as the hypocrites. Mondays and Thursdays are their days for fasting, so yours should be Wednesdays and Fridays.
Your prayers, too, should be different from theirs. Pray as the Lord enjoined in His Gospel, thus: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, As in heaven, so on earth; Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debt as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from the Evil One, For thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever.
To the choirmaster: according to The Hind of the Dawn.

The Peace Chaplet has been prayed for generations in Medjugorje. When Our Lady first started teaching the visionaries to pray, she asked them to continue with this prayer, but to add the Creed at the beginning. Our Lady also asked that this chaplet be prayed every evening right after Holy Mass.
