DAY ONE – 22 June – NOVENA of DEVOTION to the PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS

DAY ONE – NOVENA of DEVOTION to the PRECIOUS BLOOD of JESUS

Opening Prayer for each Day:

Grant me the grace to know You, to love You
and to be truly sorry that I have offended You.
I ask this grace by Your Precious Blood –
By that Precious Blood, which bathed Your Sacred Body
and trickled down to the ground in the Garden of Olives.
By that Precious Blood, which poured forth
from Your Sacred Body during the Scourging.
By that Precious Blood, which covered
Your Sacred Face when You were Crowned with Thorns.
By that Precious Blood, which burst
from Your Hands and Feet on Calvary.
By that Precious Blood, which came forth from Your Sacred Heart
after Your death.
By that Precious Blood, which we drink
in Holy Communion and of which You said:
“He who feeds on My Flesh
and drinks My Blood has life eternal.”
Amen.

Day One: Blood Is Life

Final prayer:

Eternal Father,
Creator of the universe, God of life,
You have created us in Your image and likeness.
We are living creatures through blood.
You listen to the cries of the Blood of Your Son Jesus
which calls to Heaven for reconciliation and pardon.
Help us to be attentive
to the cries of the blood of our brothers and sisters.
Preserve in us, the work of Your love,
so that, remembering always
the mystery of our salvation,
we are able to integrate,
in our daily lives,
this very mystery.
Through Jesus Christ,
Your Son, Our Lord.
Amen

Our Father …
Glory be …
V. Praise and thanksgiving be evermore to Jesus.
R. Who by His Blood has saved us.
V. Glory to the Blood of Jesus!
R. Now and forever. Amen
