Devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus honors the Blood He shed for our redemption, from the agony in the Garden to the piercing of His side. The Church traditionally dedicates the month of July to the Precious Blood, and St. Gaspar del Bufalo was one of the devotion's great promoters.
This short offering presents the Blood of Christ to the Father in atonement for our sins and for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The line "Blood of Christ, inebriate me" comes from the Anima Christi. Pray these aspirations after Communion, when making an examination of conscience, in November for the dead, or whenever you want to make a brief act of reparation.
The Prayer
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ in atonement for my sins, and for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
