Wounded Hands: A Good Friday Prophecy from the Old Testament
“And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these I was wounded in the house of them that loved me. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that cleaveth to me, saith the Lord of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand to the little ones.” (Zechariah 13:6–7, D-R)
How did Christ gain the wounds in His sacred and venerable hands? We gave them to Him.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
