Devotions to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ started very early in Christianity as relics related to the bloody passion of our Blessed Lord were preserved and venerated by the early Church.
“Let us fix our thoughts on the blood of Christ; and reflect how precious that blood is in God's eyes, inasmuch as its outpouring for our salvation has opened the grace of repentance to all mankind.”
Saint Clement of Rome
In the Year of our Lord (AD) 96
Letter to the Corinthians
For the month of July, which is in a special manner dedicated to the memory of the Precious Blood, the Church has blessed several devotions (many enriched with indulgences) that we should consider practicing at this time:
- Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood
- Litany of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus
- Offering in Reparation to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus
- An Offering of the Precious Blood for Souls
- The Seven Offerings of the Precious Blood
- Precious Blood Deliverance Prayer
Even science collaborates the worthy devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ:
Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world!
