I haven't seen the prayer to the wounds in a long time. Thanks for posting it. I used to have a copy that was included in an hour long booklet that was to be said in front of the monstrance at Holy Hour. I lost it though.

Abbot Suger of St. Denis,[2] who as regent of France lived for a time in great state, now gave up his worldly habits, resigned his secular posts, and busied himself reestablishing discipline in his own abbey. Bernard wrote to the dean of Languedoc: "You may imagine that what belongs to the Church belongs to you, while you officiate there. But you are mistaken; for though it is reasonable that one who serves the altar should live by the altar, yet it must not be to promote either his luxury or his pride. Whatever is taken beyond what is needed for bare nourishment and simple plain clothing is sacrilege and theft." Bernard also had a sharp exchange with Peter the Venerable, archabbot of Cluny, in which he criticized Peter's way of life and that of the Cluniacs.[3] Advise appropriate at all times..

Those paintings are breathtaking. I wouldn't mind having one of them. I love the vivid and bright colors.
