As Saint Bridget had been desirous for a long time to know the number of blows our Lord received during His Passion, He one day appeared to her and said, “I received 5,475 blows in my Body. If you wish to honor them in some way, say 15 Our Fathers and 15 Hail Marys with the following prayers (which He taught her) for a whole year.

When the year is up, you will have honoured each one of My wounds.”
