Jesus forever!

when life is done.”
Jesus, Mary, Joseph,
help me walk this
“Living Way.”

Christ from the Altar of the Mass
with something of your reverence
and love.
XIV. Buried Christ Who Died For Me

at last in Thee.”

over me now and at the hour of my
death. Amen.
PRECIOUS BLOOD NOVENA
HONORING HIS SEVEN
BLOODSHEDDINGS
1. Circumcised 2. Agony
3. Scourged 4. Thorn-crowned
5. Carries Cross 6. Crucified
7. Heart pierced
LORD, Thou bearest me written in Thy
Hands in letters of indelible red, which
are Thy most Holy Wounds and, to
inspire me with confidence, Thou gently
sayest, “I have written thee in My
Hands with the marks of My most
Holy Wounds.”
Therefore, will I ever say to Thee,
“Read, Lord Jesus, read that handwriting
and save me through Thy
Precious Blood.”
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked
Thee for many favors, but I plead for
this one. Take it, place it in Thine
open, broken Heart and, when the
Eternal Father sees it covered with the
mantle of Thy most Precious Blood,
He will not refuse it if, in His infinite
and farseeing Wisdom, He sees it is
best for my spiritual and temporal
welfare. It is not alone my prayer, but
Thine.
