Efficacy of the Offering of the Precious Blood of Jesus
(The prayers on this page were taken from the book,
"THE PRECIOUS BLOOD AND MOTHER")
Saint Mary Magdalen de Pazzi, in one of her revelations, received a command from Almighty God to offer the Blood of Jesus Christ to disarm the anger of God about to fall on sinners. After his instruction received from Heaven, she imposed upon herself the obligation of offering the Blood of Jesus Christ at least fifty times a day for the living and for the dead. This seraphic soul did this with such great fervor and piety, that on many occasions she obtained the confessions of a multitude of sinners, and this our Lord showed her in a vision. One day, when she was in an ecstasy, she was heard to exclaim: "Every time that a creature offers the Blood by which she was redeemed, she offers to God a gift of infinite value, surpassing all other gifts".
ETERNAL FATHER, I offer Thee the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, the merits, love and sufferings of His Sacred Heart, the tears and sorrows of Our Immaculate Mother, as the price of the favor I wish to obtain, if it is for Thy glory and my salvation. Amen.

THE VOICE OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD
O come ye to the Banquet, to the Feast of My Precious Blood.
The table is spread and ready, Bedecked with roses--both blossom, and bud.
Roses I'm waiting to shower, On those for whom I have bled,
Roses for you and for others,Roses, snow-white and blood-red.
E'en as a Child in the manger, I craved for the love of men,
Tho' a helpless Babe on My bed of straw, Yet looking ahead to Calvary I saw
I'd still thirst for the love of men.
Bring your trials and your crosses to Calvary; Place them there beside:Mine Own;
For the God-Man of Calvary, dear ones, Has the greatest of sorrows known.
I've asked you before, Did you heed me? I've pleaded. Have I pleaded in vain?
Have recourse to the Blood of your Savior; 'Twill take from you every stain.
Bring your trials and your crosses to Calvary; Place them there at the foot of the Tree.
And list! to the voice of your Savior, As I plead, "Friends come unto Me".
Bring your chalice of suffering with you, To catch the drops of My Precious Blood;
And throughout your lives, I will scatter, My roses--both blossom and bud.

AN OFFERING OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD FOR SOULS
O my God, I beg of Thee in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, through the merits of the Precious Blood offered Thee in every Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, to grant that this day one mortal sin might be averted, one soul in doubt be converted to the truth, one soul about to die in sin may receive the grace of repentance and a happy death, and the deliverance of that soul in purgatory, which is nearest heaven. I wish, by this offering, to console the Heart of Jesus in Agony for the souls lost through the teaching of error against the true Church of Christ Jesus, Our Lord. Amen.

A PRAYER IN TIME OF AFFLICTION, WARS, PESTILENCE, ETC.
Father John Bartholomew, a Passionist Monk of SS. John and Paul at Rome, a most holy man, and who had frequent revelations, once saying Mass, thought of the scourges about to fall on the world -- wars, famine, pestilence, etc., when the following prayer was revealed to him, and he was told that whosoever recited it, with devotion, would be preserved form all dangers, with which the whole world would be visited:
O Jesus, Divine Redeemer, be merciful unto us and the whole world. Amen
O Powerful God! O Holy God! O Immortal God! have pity on us, and on all that are in the whole world. Amen.
Pardon and mercy, O my Jesus! during these present dangers, pour on us Thy most Precious Blood. Amen.
O Eternal Father! be merciful to us; by the Blood of Jesus Christ, Thy only Son, be merciful to us, we beseech Thee. Amen. Amen. Amen.
O God, be appeased by the supplications we address to Thee, and through the intercession of the ever Blessed Virgin Mary, the glorious St. Joseph, and all the Saints, defend us from all dangers, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

NOVENA TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD
By the Voice of Thy Blood, O Jesus! I would press Thee, solicit Thee, importune Thee, though Thou seemest to reject my supplications. I will not leave Thy bleeding feet until Thou hearest me. Too many graces, too many mercies have come from Thy Blood, for me not to hope, even to the end in its efficacy.
Then, O Jesus! by the Precious Blood seven times shed for the welfare of men, by each drop of that Sacred Price of our redemption, by the tears of Thy Immaculate Mother, I conjure Thee, I supplicate Thee, hear my earnest prayer. (Here, specify your request).
O Thou, who during all the days of Thy mortal life, consoled so many sufferings, healed so many infirmities, raised so often a sinking courage; Thou will not fail to have pity on a soul who cries to Thee from the depths of her anguish! Oh, no, it is impossible! Another sigh from my heart, and from the wound in Thine own, there will flow to me, upon a wave of Thy merciful Blood, the grace so ardently desired. O Jesus, Jesus! hasten the moment when Thou wilt change my tears into joy, my sighs into thanksgivings.
Holy Mary, Source of the Divine Blood! I conjure Thee not to lose this occasion of glorifying the Blood which made Thee Immaculate. Amen.
