PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS NOVENA
THIRD DAY
Prayer in Honor of the Precious Blood
O Precious Blood of Jesus, infinite
Price of our redemption and both the drink and laver of our souls, You
continually plead the cause of all people before the throne of Infinite
Mercy. From the depths of my heart I
adore You. Jesus, insofar as I am able I want to make reparation for the
insults and outrages which You receive from human beings, especially from those
who blaspheme You and deny Your presence. Who would not venerate the Blood of
infinite value?! Who does not feel
inflamed with love for the Jesus Who shed it? What would have become of me had
I not been redeemed by this Divine Blood?
Who has drained it all from the veins of my Savior? Surely this was the work of Love! O Infinite Love, which has given us this
saving Balm! O Balm beyond all price,
welling up from the foundation of Infinite Love! Grant that every heart and every tongue may
render You praise and thanks, now and forever! Amen.
On His blood shed in the garden of Gethsemane
Beloved Jesus, who, on beholding the
sins, the crimes, the ingratitude, the coldness of men, the eternal damnation
of so many souls, and the frightful evils of sin, wast by Thy love thrown into
a bitter agony, and didst shed Thy precious blood so copiously in the garden of
Gethsemane; grant me, through this same blood, and for the infinite charity
which caused Thee to drink the bitter chalice of Thy Passion, and by the sorrow
of Thy most holy mother, when she beheld Thy suffering, oh, grant me, I pray
Thee, an unshaken constancy in suffering all things for Thee; be pleased to
enlighten the mind of all men, that they may not, by their evil lives, be
deprived for all eternity of the benefits of Thy blood and Thy love.
Prayer
Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ,
shed, in order to obtain mercy for all men, behold us prostrate before Thee;
flow upon us abundantly. Behold our heads, our hands, our wills, our
understandings, our memories, our thoughts, our affections, our work, our
senses, interior and exterior; wash all because all is soiled; purify all
because all is corrupt; cure all because all is diseased. Change us by Thy
adorable virtue that we may unite ourselves to Thee, O infinite Purity! Purify
us, adorn us, save us, and crown us. Amen.
