Below is a prayer of Consecration to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.
\nBlood of Jesus, inebriate me!<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>O Jesus, my Beloved Saviour,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>ever present in the Tabernacle,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>to be the strength,<\/span><\/span> the joy and the food of souls,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>I come to consecrate myself to Thy Precious Blood,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>and to pledge Thee my sincere love and fidelity.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Pierced with sorrow at the remembrance of Thy sufferings,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>the contemplation of the Cross,<\/span><\/span> and the thought of the outrages<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>and contempt lavished by ungrateful souls<\/span><\/span> upon Thy dear Blood,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>I long, O my Jesus,<\/span><\/span> to bring joy to Thy Heart,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>and to make Thee forget my sins,<\/span><\/span> and those of the whole world,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>by consecrating my body and soul to Thy service.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>I desire, my Jesus, to live henceforth,<\/span><\/span> only by Thy Blood and for Thy Blood.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>I now choose It as my greatest treasure<\/span><\/span> and the dearest object of my love.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>O merciful Redeemer,<\/span><\/span> deign to regard me as a perpetual adorer<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>of Thy Most Precious Blood,<\/span><\/span> and be pleased to accept my prayers,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>my deeds and my sacrifices,<\/span><\/span> as so many acts of reparation and love.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Heavenly Wine,<\/span><\/span> giver of purity and strength,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>pour down upon my soul.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Make of my heart a living chalice<\/span><\/span> from which grace shall constantly flow<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>on those that love Thee,<\/span><\/span> and especially on poor sinners that offend Thee.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Teach me to honour Thee<\/span><\/span> and to make Thee honoured by others.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Give me power to draw to Thee cold and hardened hearts,<\/span><\/span> that they may feel how infinitely<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Thy consolations surpass those of the world.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>O Blood of my Crucified Saviour,<\/span><\/span> detach me from the world,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>and the spirit of the world.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Make me love suffering and sacrifice,<\/span><\/span> after the example of St. Catherine of Sienna,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>who loved Thee so much<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>O Precious Blood,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>be my strength amid the trials and struggles of exile.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Grant that at the hour of death<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>I may be able to bless Thee<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>for having been the comfort<\/span><\/span> and the sanctification of my soul,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>before becoming, in Heaven,<\/span><\/span> the everlasting object of my love and praise.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Saints of God,<\/span><\/span> who owe thy happiness to the Blood of Jesus;<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Angelic spirits,<\/span><\/span> who sing Its glory and power,<\/span><\/span> august Virgin,<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>who to <\/span><\/span>i<\/span><\/span>t owest<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>the privileges<\/span><\/span> of thine Immaculate Conception<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>and Divine Maternity,<\/span><\/span> help me to pay to the Precious Blood of my Redeemer<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>a perpetual homage of adoration,<\/span><\/span> reparation and thanksgiving.<\/span><\/span> Amen<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
