His blood was poured out to the last drop for our salvation. Oh, the great goodness of our redeeming Lord! Who will not love Thee, Saviour of my soul? What heart will not consume itself away for love of Thee, Who hast done all this for our Redemption? The tongue wants words to praise Thee; so let us invite all creatures upon earth, all angels and all saints in paradise, and most of all our dear mother Mary, to bless, praise, and celebrate Thy most Precious Blood. Glory to the Blood of Jesus! Now and ever throughout all ages. Amen. Our Father (five times), and Glory be to the Father, etc. (once).

V. We beseech Thee therefore, help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.

Prayer

MOST Precious Blood of life eternal! price and ransom of the world! drink and bath of the soul! ever pleading the cause of men before the throne of mercy; I adore Thee most profoundly; I would, if I were able, make Thee some compensation for the outrages and wrongs Thou dost ever suffer from men, and especially from those who dare in their rashness to blaspheme Thee. Who will not bless this Blood of value infinite? Who does not feel himself on fire with the love of Jesus, Who shed it all for us? What should I be but for this Blood which hath redeemed me?
