Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood
The Chaplet of the Precious Blood, also known as the Precious Blood Rosary
Seven
"effusions of the Blood of Christ", implicitly or explicitly
mentioned in the Gospels, are recalled in a series of biblical meditations and
devotional prayers:
the Blood of the Circumcision, the Blood of the Garden of
Gethsemane, the Blood of the Flagellation, the Blood of the Crowning of Thorns, the Blood of the Carrying of the Cross, the blood of the
Crucifixion,
the Blood flowing from Christ's side
pierced by the lance.
This
Chaplet is divided into seven groups, containing thirty-three
"Our Fathers" in
honor of the thirty-three years Our Savior's life on earth before it was poured out on the Cross for our salvation.
After
each group, the "Glory be to the Father" is recited in thanksgiving to
the Holy Trinity for this great gift of the Precious Blood. While reciting
these prayers, meditate on each of the seven blood sheddings of
Jesus.
V. O
God, come to my assistance.
R. Lord,
make haste to help me.
V. Glory be to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
