Novena to the Precious Blood

Novena to the Precious Blood

By the voice of Thy Blood, O Jesus, we would press Thee, solicit Thee, importune Thee.  Though Thou seemest to reject our supplications, we will not leave Thy bleeding feet until Thou hearest our prayers.   So many graces, so many mercies have come forth from They Blood that we shall not cease to hope even to the end its efficacy.  Then, O Jesus, by Thy precious Blood seven times shed for the welfare of men, by each drop of that Sacred Price of our Redemption, by the tears of Thy Immaculate Mother, we entreat Thee to hear out prayers.

(Here pause and mention your requests)…

O Thou, Who during all the days of Thy mortal life consoled so many sufferings, healed so many infirmities, encouraged so many who were disheartened, Thou wilt not fail to have pity on a soul who cries to Thee from the depths of her anguish!  No, it is impossible.  Another sigh from our wounded hearts and, from the wound in Thy own will flow to us upon a wave of Thy precious blood the graces we ardently desire!  O Jesus, hasten the moment when Thou wilt change our tears into joys, our signs into thanksgivings.

Holy Mary, source of the Divine Blood, we entreat Thee not lose this occasion for glorifying the Blood which made thee immaculate.  Amen.
