Seven Petitions to the Precious Blood View description ▼

Practice devotion to the Most Precious Blood! This is outstanding way to participate in Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Spend fifteen or twenty minutes – or more – praying thus: Precious Blood of Jesus, I adore Thee (I thank Thee / Have Mercy on me / or make any intention). Pray in particular for the Precious Blood to forgive and free you from any serious sin - one that has a strong hold on you. Seven petitions in particular, linked to Our Lord's seven blood shedding, cover the entire range of the Christian life. Prayed with fervor and perseverance, this is a sure path to sanctity.

The Devil at Work in the Church View description ▼ Breaking with all Tradition, Scripture, Natural Law, and God's Authority, Francis has allowed the "blessing" of couples engaged in unnatural vice. This confusion is dividing the Church and shaking the faith of many. It is a terrible abuse. Two great problems we suffer under today are the abuse by fathers - including spiritual fathers - and a misunderstanding of marriage. Yet it is not hard for us to know the truth. We simply rely on what the Church has always and everywhere taught to all (universality, antiquity and consensus). As the Church endures this terrible passion, remain close to Our Blessed Mother. She will preserve you.

By God's Grace I Am What I Am View description ▼ St. Paul humbly acknowledges his unworthiness because he persecuted Christ and His Church. Yet God loved him, elected him, and granted him an undeserved grace. Paul responded. He cooperated – and never went back. Thus, the grace was not in vain. And what of us? We are weak. But we too receive great graces. The world is noisy and blocks out inspirations of grace. Even if we have not cooperated before, let us begin now. Open your ears and be faithful to prayer.

Living Through The Crisis 1 - Faith View description ▼ A divine chastisement is imminent. Our Lady has already warned us at Fatima and Akita. Very few Catholics, even in traditional circles, are spiritually prepared for what is coming. This series explores the virtues most needed to survive the coming years. Each one of us needs to be working on this now, while we still have the time. The first talk centers on the supernatural virtue of Faith.

Precious Blood of Jesus

From the sermon Seven Petitions to the Precious Blood (Tenth Sunday after Pentecost)

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed at the circumcision, make me chaste of mind, heart and body.

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the agony of the garden, grant me to love above all things the holy and adorable will of God.

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the scourging at the pillar, inspire me with a keen sorrow for my sins and a love of suffering.

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the crowning with thorns, grant me a love of humiliations.

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in carrying the cross , fill me with the courage to walk unfalteringly in the bloody footsteps of Jesus.

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the crucifixion, make me die entirely to self-love.

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed from the pierced Sacred Heart, grant me that generous love that sacrifices all for God.

A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION: My Jesus, I firmly believe that Thou art present – Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity – in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief. Lord, increase my faith. I love Thee above all things and desire Thee in my soul. Yet my love is weak and inconstant, strengthen my love for Thee evermore. Since I cannot now receive Thee under the sacramental veil, I beseech Thee, with a heart full of love and longing, to come spiritually into my soul. As though Thou were already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee; Thou in me and I in Thee, in time and in eternity, in Mary and Her Immaculate Heart. Amen.

A spiritual communion can be offered any time during the day. A person can also make numerous such acts throughout the day. The grace which one receives though this act is dependent upon the sate of one's soul, as well as one's fervor, purity of heart and sanctity.
There is no one single prayer by which one can offer a spiritual communion. Many variations exist. This one is based on a popular prayer by St. Alphonsus Liguori and augmented by Fr. Rodríguez with passages from Scripture and insights from St. John Eudes and St. Louis de Montfort.
