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 5,480 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 honored each one of my wounds."
He further made the following promises to anyone who recited these prayers for a whole year:
- I will deliver 15 souls of his lineage from Purgatory.
- 15 souls of his lineage will be confirmed and preserved in grace.
- 15 sinners of his lineage will be converted.
- Whoever recites these prayers will obtain the first degree of perfection.
- 15 days before his death I will give him my Precious Body in order that he may escape eternal starvation; I will give him my Precious Blood to drink lest he thirst eternally.
- 15 days before his death he will conceive a deep contrition for all
