PRAYER TO THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS


 
Oh Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Please save us. 
Oh Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Please cleanse us.
Oh Most Precious Blood of Jesus, Please draw our soul near to Thee, Never let us part from Thee. 
Oh, Good Jesus, the life and strength of all those who have faith in Thee, Please have mercy on us. 

 July is the month of the Precious Blood. The feast was instituted in 1849, but the devotion is as old as Christianity. The early Fathers say that the church was born for the pierced side of Christ and that the Sacraments were brought forth through His Blood. 

In Catholic belief, the Blood of Jesus is precious because it is Christ's own great ransom paid for the redemption of mankind. Jesus is said to have given His life - His Blood for the sake of all humanity, in atoning for every form of human sin. The Precious Blood is a call to repentance and reparation.
