What Wound Caused Jesus the Most Pain? | Fr. Chris Alar, MIC
Fr. Chris Alar, MIC reflects on the remarkable life and spirituality of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor of the Church—a mystic and contemplative who was also deeply involved in the political and Church affairs of his time. Known for his profound Marian devotion, St. Bernard even appears in Dante’s Paradiso as the final spiritual guide who leads Dante through Mary toward his vision of God and eternity.
Fr. Chris also highlights the powerful devotion associated with the Shoulder Wound of Christ, traditionally connected with St. Bernard. We are invited to contemplate the hidden suffering Jesus endured on His shoulder while carrying the heavy Cross for us. This devotion reminds us that following Christ means accepting our own crosses with faith and love, trusting that our suffering, united with His, can lead us closer to God and ultimately to the joy of eternal life.
