DAY EIGHT – 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 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 Eight : Jesus Sheds Blood in the Piercing of His Sacred Heart

Final prayer:

Eternal Father,
we offer You the Precious Blood of Jesus,
shed in the piercing of the Sacred Heart of Your Son.
Open our hearts to share His life
and continue to bless us with His love.
Help us renew and live our Baptismal promises.
Father of mercy, sanctify Your Church.
May the opening of the heart of Your Son
be an invitation to all the peoples of the world
to live in harmony, peace,and love
and to see the only way to eternal life
is through the Church,
given birth, by the Precious Blood of Christ.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
