A prayer to the Most Precious Blood by a Dominican Tertiary and Doctor of the Church.
From Catholic Truth
O sweet Jesus, my Love, to strengthen my soul and to rescue it from the weakness into which it has fallen, You have built a wall around it, and have mixed the mortar with Your blood, confirming my soul and uniting it to the sweet will and charity of God!
Just as lime mixed with water is placed between stones to cement them together, so You, O God, have placed between Your creature and Yourself, the Blood of Your only-begotten Son, cemented with the divine lime of the fire of ardent charity, in such a way that there is no Blood without fire, nor fire without Blood.
Your Blood was shed, O Christ, by the fire of love! Amen
