Precious Blood of Jesus Novena
Say for Nine Consecutive Days
Novena of The Precious Blood
By the Voice of Thy Blood, O Jesus, I seek Thee, ask Thee, and beg Thee, to help me at this time of my need. O Jesus, I kneel at Thy bleeding feet pleading that you will hear me.
Many graces and many mercies have come from Thy Blood. My hope lives in you, until the end of my time. O Jesus, by Thy Precious Blood which you shed for our souls, by each drop that you shed for our redemption and by the tears of Thy Immaculate Mother, I beseech Thee and earnestly ask You to listen to my prayer:
(Mention your request here)
O Jesus, who during all the days of Thy mortal life, You consoled so many sufferers, You healed so many infirmities, You raised so often sinking courage; have pity on my soul who cries to Thee from the depths of my anguish.
O Jesus, from the wounds of Thy heart, may a wave of Thy merciful blood flow and grant to me the grace that I so ardently desire. O Jesus, hasten the moment when You will change my tears to joy and my sighs to thanksgivings.
Holy Mary, I ask you to join with me in seeking help. But, God our Father in heaven, “May Your will be done”. Amen.
Conclude by saying the "Our Father… (x3)"
** Jesus, Crucified, Have Mercy on Me **

Brief Explanation
During the last supper... Matthew 26: 26-28
26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this IS my body.” (our emphasis given)27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This IS my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
Jesus sacrificed himself for the forgiveness of our sins. His "New Covenant was poured out for the sins of many. This IS my body and This IS my blood left no room for confusion.
Jesus sacrificed himself for the forgiveness of our sins. His "New Covenant was poured out for the sins of many. This IS my body and This IS my blood left no room for confusion.
Jesus continues to explain in John 6:53-58
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food, and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
This Novena honors and embraces Jesus’ sacrifice and the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, which is supernaturally transubstantiated during the Catholic Mass when our ordained priests (**this gift was given to them by Jesus) consecrate the simple bread and wine into the true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. In this novena (nine-day prayer) we are able to call upon our most powerful Jesus in our time of need; His precious blood will protect and cleanse us of our sins.
**cf. Luke 3:21, 22; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 5; Hebrews 7; Hebrews 8; Hebrews 9; 1 Peter 2:4, 5, 9. In this chapter we have the history of the consecration of the Aaronic priesthood. The stages were briefly these: - Lustration, or, as we would now say, baptism; investiture; anointing; atonement; dedication; consecration; and, finally, communion.
