Eternal Father! I offer Thee the merits of the precious blood of Jesus, Thy well-beloved Son, my Saviour and my God, for all my wants, spiritual and temporal; in suffrage for the holy souls in purgatory, and chiefly for those who were the most fervent lovers of this blood, the price of our Redemption, and who were most devout to the sorrows and pains of our dear Mother, most holy Mary. Glory be to the Father.
Blessed and praised, etc.
Glory be to the blood of Jesus, now and forever, and throughout all ages! Amen.
Indulgence of 300 days, every time.—Pius VII, Sept 22, 1817.
Oblation and Thanksgiving in Honor of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus
Eternal Father! we offer Thee the most precious blood of Jesus, shed for us with such great love and bitter pain from his right hand; and through the merits and the efficacy of that blood, we entreat Thy divine Majesty to grant us Thy holy benediction, in order that we may be defended thereby from all our enemies, and be set free from every ill; whilst we say. May the blessing of Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, descend upon us and remain with us forever. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.
Indulgence of 100 days, every time.—Leo XII, Oct. 25, 1823.
