Most Precious Blood of life eternal! price and ransom of the whole universe! drink and bath of the soul! ever pleading the cause of man before the throne of heavenly Mercy; I adore Thee most profoundly:
I would, if I were able, make Thee some compensation for the outrages and wrongs Thou dost ever suffer from men, and especially from those who in their rashness dare to blaspheme Thee.
Who will not bless this Blood of value infinite?
who does not feel himself inflamed with the love of Jesus, who shed it all for us?
What should I be but for this Blood, which hath redeemed me?
And who drew it out of the veins of my Lord, even unto the last drop?
It was Love. O immense Love, which gave to us this saving Balsam!
O Balsam beyond all price, streaming forth from the Fount of immeasurable Love!
Give to all hearts, all tongues, power to praise, celebrate, and thank Thee, now and ever, and throughout all eternity. Amen.
Redemisti nos, Domine, in Sanguine tuo / Then hast redeemed us, O Lord, with Thy Blood.
Et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum/ And hast made us a kingdom to our God.
Oremus.
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui Unigenitum Filium tuum mundi Redemptorem constituisti, ac ejus Sanguine placari voluisti: concede nobis, quaesumus, salutis nostrae pretium ita venerari, atque praesentis vitae malis ejus virtute defendi in terris, ut fructu perpetuo laetemur in coelis. Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate,Amen.
Let us pray.
Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son the Savior of the world, and hast willed to be appeased with His Blood; grant us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate this most Precious Blood, the price of our salvation, and so to be defended by its power upon earth from the evils of this present life, that in Heaven we may enjoy its everlasting fruits. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the Unity of God the Holy Ghost, one God forever and ever. Amen.
