A short prayer to Our Lady of the Precious Blood.
From The Congregation of Missionaries of the Precious Blood
O Mary, source of the Precious Blood, thou art the guardian of this treasure for which my whole being yearns. The Blood of Jesus shed in anguish and shame, the Blood which reconciles and purifies us in thy keeping to be dispersed to thy children as God wills.
O Mother, give to my intelligence the Blood that heals my infirmities and cancels my iniquities; to my will, the generous Blood which wrought the honour of God by the greatest of immolations.
Give to my heart this spotless Blood which gives rise to holiness; and to every faculty of my mind and every sense and member of my body, the indomitable courage and peace which the Passion and Death of thy Divine Son purchased for me. Then shall I be armed for the daily combat, and to Jesus crucified shall be given the trophies of my redemption, and by its merits, bring me, Mother, to sing its praises in eternity. Amen.
