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.
