CONSECRATION TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

Conscious, merciful Saviour, of my nothingness and of thy sublimity, I cast myself at thy feet and thank thee for the many proofs of thy grace shown to me, thy ungrateful creature. I thank thee especially for delivering me by thy Precious Blood from the destructive power of Satan. In the presence of my dear Mother Mary, my Guardian Angel, my Patron Saint and the whole Company of Heaven, I dedicate myself voluntarily with a sincere heart, O dearest Jesus, to thy Precious Blood, by which thou hast redeemed the world from sin, death and hell. I promise thee with the help of thy grace and to the utmost of my strength to stir up and foster devotion to thy Precious Blood, the Price of our Redemption, so that thy adorable Blood may be honoured and glorified by all. In this way, I wish to make reparation for my disloyalty towards thy Precious Blood of love, and to make satisfaction to thee for the many profanations which men commit against that Precious Price of their salvation.

O would that my own sins, my coldness, and all the acts of disrespect I have ever committed against thee, O holy, Precious Blood, could be undone. Behold, O dearest Jesus, I offer to thee the love, honour and adoration which thy most holy Mother, thy faithful Disciples and all Saints have offered to thy Precious Blood, I ask thee to forget my earlier faithlessness and coldness, and to forgive all who offend thee. Sprinkle me, O divine Saviour, and all men with thy Precious Blood, so that we, O Crucified Love, may love thee from now on with all our hearts, and worthily honour the Price of our salvation. Amen.

BL. LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR - 30 MAY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! BLESSED LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR 16th century houses, painted by Auguste Mayer He was born in the bishopric of Durham, according to Raissius ; others say at Richmond, in Yorkshire. He was master of arts in one of our universities; but going abroad to Douay, in Flanders, was received into the English college there, 1576, and made priest in 1577; and the year following sent upon the mission. Where he had not been long before he again went abroad, and travelled to Rome, partly for devotion, and partly for further improvement in learning. Here he remained in the English college till 1580, when he returned into England, and was not long after apprehended: for I find by a printed diary of things transacted in the Tower of London from 1580 till 1585, that on the 5th of December, 1580, Luke Kirby, Thomas Cottam , and other priests, were brought to the Tower from other prisons; and that these two, on the 10th...

BL. RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR - 30 MAY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! BLESSED RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR Richard Newport, alias Smith , was born in Northamptonshire and performed his studies abroad, partly in the college of Rheims (if he be the Richard Smith whom I find in the Douay diary sent to Rome in 1586) and partly in that of Rome, where he was made priest. From thence he was sent upon the English mission, and behaved himself in such a manner as justly to acquire the character of a laborious missionary; being withal remarkably successful in bringing home many strayed sheep to the fold of Christ, to which his apostolical way of living did not a little contribute.  He was several times apprehended and cast into prison, and twice banished. His name occurs amongst those who were transported in 1606; at which time, we are told, he took that opportunity of making a pilgrimage to Rome, there to pour forth his prayers at the tombs of the apostles, in behalf of thi...
