Jesus, Teach Me To Forgive

Loving Jesus,

You who have shown us the way of forgiveness through your own example on the cross, I come before you with a humble and contrite heart, seeking your guidance and strength. Teach me, dear Lord, the true meaning of forgiveness.

You, who willingly embraced suffering and endured the weight of our sins, forgive me for the times I have held onto anger, resentment, and grudges. Help me to release these burdens and let go of the pain that binds my heart.

Grant me the wisdom to see others through your compassionate eyes, understanding that they too are flawed and in need of your mercy. Help me to recognize that forgiveness is not condoning or forgetting the wrongdoing but rather choosing to let go of the hurt and entrusting justice into your hands.

Lord, I acknowledge that forgiveness is not always easy, and at times it may seem impossible. But with your grace and strength, I know that all things are possible. Fill me with your Holy Spirit, so that I may find the courage to forgive those who have wronged me, just as you have forgiven me.

Teach me to be patient and understanding, to offer love and compassion even to those who have hurt me deeply. Help me to break the cycle of resentment and vengeance, and to replace it with the healing power of forgiveness.

May forgiveness be a transformative force in my life, restoring relationships, bringing inner peace, and fostering reconciliation. Through forgiving others, may I experience the freedom that comes from embracing your divine mercy.

Lord Jesus, as I strive to forgive, grant me the grace to seek reconciliation where possible and to work towards healing the wounds that have caused division. Give me the strength to extend forgiveness not just once, but as often as necessary, following your example of unlimited love and mercy.

I surrender my hurts, my pain, and my desire for revenge into your loving hands. Help me to live out the prayer you taught us, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

In your holy and compassionate name, I pray.

Amen

Catholic Prayer for Deliverance and protection

 Here's a Catholic prayer for deliverance and protection:

"Heavenly Father, I come before you in humble submission, seeking your deliverance and protection. I acknowledge my dependence on your love and mercy, and I ask for your grace to overcome the challenges and trials that I face.

In the name of Jesus, I renounce any bondages, strongholds, or negative influences that may have a hold on me. I invite your Holy Spirit to fill me, to cleanse me, and to empower me with your divine strength.

Lord, I pray for your protection over every aspect of my life. Guard me against the snares of the enemy and shield me from harm. Surround me with your heavenly angels, who are mighty in power and ready to defend me.

I ask for deliverance from any evil spirits or demonic forces that may be oppressing me. By the authority of Jesus Christ, I command every unclean spirit to leave and never return. I invite your Holy Spirit to fill the empty places and bring forth your light and peace.

Heavenly Father, I trust in your providence and your wisdom. Help me to discern right from wrong, to choose what is pleasing to you, and to resist the temptations that may come my way. Strengthen me in faith, hope, and love.

Grant me the courage to walk in righteousness, even when the path is difficult. Give me the grace to forgive those who have wronged me and to seek reconciliation where possible. Help me to extend your love and mercy to others.

Lord, I place my life and all my concerns into your loving hands. I surrender my fears, anxieties, and burdens to you, knowing that you are my refuge and strength. May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

I make this prayer in the holy name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints. Amen."

Remember, prayer is a personal conversation with God, and you can always adapt or modify this prayer to suit your own specific needs and circumstances.

Prayer to Remove Generational Spirits by Fr Ripperger -Deliverance Prayer

(Click above for the prayer on video)

Fr. Ripperger defines generational spirits as thus:
Generational spirits are normally passed when one person commits some kind of grave sin, introducing the demon into the household

 Generational spirits can be blocked and removed from a family tree by members of the family reciting various prayers.

Prayers of spiritual protection protect us from evil. Commit yourself to these prayers and trust in the Lord to deliver you. These prayers will guide you.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Spiritual Warfare Prayer

For the removal of generational spirits


Lord Jesus Christ Incarnate Son of God the Father,

Thou who hast chosen to enter into human history by being carried in the womb of Thy Blessed Mother Mary, grant, I beseech Thee, that any demons that may have been introduced into my generational line by any one of my ancestors may be blocked from passing to the subsequent generations.

I ask Thee that if the evil spirit entered the generational line by the sin of one or more of my ancestors, that Thou wouldst pardon the temporal punishment due to their sin and free us from the demon’s involvement in our lives.

Blessed Virgin, we ask thee to offer the Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of thy Son to God the Father in reparation for the sins that may have resulted from the evil spirits affecting those of the generational line. If any evil spirit has been introduced into my generational line as a result of a curse or malefice done by someone outside my family, I ask thee to give me the grace to forgive them whole heartedly and I ask Thee, Jesus, to break the curse or malefice if it is still in place.

God the Father, I forgive them for any of the effects of their sin that they may have committed against my family line and for any damage it may have caused.

Jesus, I ask Thee to forgive me of any sins that may be the result of any generational spirits in my family and I ask Thee to block any power the evil spirits may have gained in my generational line as a result of my own sin.
Heal any damage to the lives of the members of my family (N…) as a result of the generational spirit. I bind and completely and utterly reject, with the full force of my will any sin or spiritual defect of mine as well as any temptation, allurements or power that any generational spirit may have over me as a result of my sin or the sin of any other person. I do this in the Holy Name of Jesus and in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

How to Get Rid of Generational Spirits

How to be cured from a curse or generational demons


 The most efficacious remedy for anyone suffering from a curse or generational spirits is to grow in virtue. If you want to grow in holiness you must do two things, work at it, and ask for it. Praying for virtues is important in receiving grace to overcome your sinful habits. But you must also know what the Church teaches about virtue and try to amend your life for love of God and practice living virtuously. On our own we can never hope to change ourselves, but it is through the grace of God that we are able to grow in holiness. 

Try praying for virtues, humbly prayer asking God for assistance by Saint Thomas Aquinas. He is a wonderful resource for us to learn about growing in virtue, and his many writings can teach us about our faith.

If you are suffering with demonic attacks against your soul, turn to Jesus in the Eucharist. Like Paul, convert and follow Christ in total abandon. Turn to Jesus right now in your suffering. Find Him in the adoration chapel and kneel there in prayer. Offer a Holy Hour in adoration. Ask Him to speak to your heart. Then wait upon the Lord for His answer. Amend your life. Begin a radical transformation from your brokenness into a powerful disciple who acts with deep love for Christ. Have deep trust in His words, and deep faith that with Him, through Him, and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, you can come to the Father and be saved.

Mortal sins hinder the soul in need of deliverance. The devil knows our weaknesses and desires to keep us subject to our sins. Evil spirits are continually accusing us night and day. They use our memories to remind us of our unworthiness and damnable qualities. How do we wage war against the accusations in our minds? By not committing any more mortal sins. Mortal sins in a family line invite demons into your life. There are many sins that seem to run in families, through generations. Why is this so? Why are they so hard to break? Is it purely natural? Do we just imitate what we see? Or is there a supernatural element to these attacks of the mind, body and soul?

If you are a victim of a satanic curse, one that was put on you through the malice of another soul, then your only true cure is your own repentance and reception of the Holy Eucharist. The best way to rid yourself of this curse is regular confession and daily Mass. Through these spiritual practices you will be strengthened by the Holy Spirit to forgive the person who cursed you, whether they are known to you or not. This is vital for your healing. Remember that God wills our suffering for the salvation of our souls. Look upon your situation and your suffering as a gift from God in order to sanctify your soul and draw you closer to Him. He is willing this suffering because he loves you deeply. God knows our limitations and He knows what it will take to move our souls toward reconciliation with Him.

 Did you know that praying for your deceased loved ones and asking God to forgive their sins is another way to cleanse your family tree from generational spirits? Offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for these souls is also beneficial. By uniting with Christ in your suffering you have the power to make a difference in your family bloodline, for those who have gone on before you, and for your posterity.

Spend a few minutes before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament today. Give Him thanks and praise. Return His love for love and offer yourself for the salvation of souls. Give Him your consent to use your current suffering as a means to draw you closer to Him and to heal your family.

CONSECRATION TO OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL

 

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or Virgin of Carmel, is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as patroness of the Carmelite Order, particularly within the Catholic Church. The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the late 12th and early to mid-13th century.

This is a devotional sacramental signifying the wearer's consecration to Mary and affiliation with the Carmelite order. It symbolizes her special protection and deliverance from purgatory. Whoever wears a scapular must be conscientious of their consecration to God and to the Virgin and be coherent in their thoughts, words, and deeds.

CONSECRATION TO OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL

O Mary, Queen of all Saints,

who art the beauty of Carmel,

how sweet it is for me to venerate thee

under the title of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

Even from the days of the Apostles,

thou hast been honoured under this mystic title;

I am filled with joy as I consecrate myself to thee, O holy Mary,

most unworthy though I am to be thy servant,

yet touched by thy motherly care for me

and longing to serve thee,

in the presence of my Guardian Angel

and the court of Heaven,

I choose thee this day to be my Queen,

my Advocate, and my Mother,

and I firmly purpose to serve thee ever more

and to do what I can that all may render faithful service to thee.

Therefore, most devoted Mother,

through the Precious Blood thy Son poured out for me,

and through the promises of thee as Our Lady of Mount Carmel,

I beg thee, deign to take me among thy clients

and receive me as thy servant forever.

O beauty of Carmel,

glory of Libanus,

thou purest of lilies,

mystic rose in the garden of the Church,

I salute thee!

O Virgin of virgins,

be mindful of me in my misery,

and show thyself my Mother.

Shed upon me ever more and more

the living light of that faith

which made thee blessed;

inflame with that Heavenly love

wherewith thou didst love thy dear Son, Jesus Christ.

Do thou, Mother of God,

who hast such power and might,

obtain for me from blessed Jesus,

the Heavenly gifts of humility, chastity, and meekness,

which were the fairest ornaments of thine Immaculate soul.

Do thou grant me to be strong

in the midst of the temptations and bitterness

which so often overwhelm my spirit.

Aid me in every action,

and beg for me the grace, never,

by word or deed or thought,

to be displeasing in thy sight and that of thy most holy Son.

Think of me my dearest Mother,

and desert me not at the hour of death.

Amen.

(Here, you kiss your Scapular..)

Holy Virgin of Mount Carmel, Our Lady of the Scapular,

pray for us!

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, QUEEN OF ANGELS

THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PRAYER

[Please Read]

The faithful are asked to say this prayer frequently and fervently. It is of great importance given the following remarkable background:

[1] The prayer was dictated by the Blessed Mother herself to the holy and venerable priest, Fr. Louis–Édouard Cestac, on January 13, 1863 as a means to combat the powers of Hell.

[2] An exorcism prayer in itself, this is a formidable prayer for “spiritual battle” especially needed for our times when the ravages caused by the fallen angels are everywhere conspicuous and unrelenting.

[3] It is a prayer approved by the Church: It was recommended to the faithful by Pope Pius IX, and later indulgenced by both Popes Leo XIII and Pius X.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, QUEEN OF ANGELS

[ August Queen of Heaven Prayer ]
An Indulgence of 500 days.
(S. C. Ind., July 8, 1908; S. P. Ap., Mar. 28, 1935)

O, August Queen and our Lady of Angels,

who received from God the power and mission of crushing the head of Satan,

we humbly beg you to send us heavenly legions,

with Saint Michael the Archangel as head

so that under your orders they may chase the demons,

combat them everywhere,

repress their boldness,

and drive them back into the abyss.

“Who is like God?”

O good and tender Mother,

you shall always be our love and our hope.

O Divine Mother, send your holy angels to defend us,

and to drive away from us the cruel enemy.

Holy angels and archangels, defend us and guard us.

Amen.

Pray the Saint Michael Chaplet! Together, let us call upon the angels for their intercession.

The Chaplet of St. Michael is a wonderful way to honor this great Archangel along with the other nine Choirs of Angels.  St. Michael promised that whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for thoseT who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life, and after death deliverance from purgatory for themselves and their relations.

THE CHAPLET OF ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

L: O God, come to my assistance.

R: O Lord, make haste to help me.

L: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

R: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

[Say one Our Father and three Hail Marys after each of the following nine salutations in honor of the nine Choirs of Angels.]

Our Father..., Hail Mary... (3x).

Salutation 7: By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Principalities may God fill our souls with a true spirit of obedience. Amen.

Salutation 9: By the intercession of St. Michael and the celestial Choir of Angels may the Lord grant us to be protected by them in this mortal life and conducted in the life to come to Heaven. Amen.

Our Father..., Hail Mary... (3x).

Say one Our Father in honor of each of the following leading Angels: St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael and our Guardian Angel.

CONCLUDING PRAYERS:

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael Prince of Your Church, make us worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into Your Presence. This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil

Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!

From famine and war, deliver us.

From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us.

From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us.

From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us.

From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us.

From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us.

From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us.

From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us.

From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.

Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin: individual sin and the "sin of the world", sin in all its manifestations.

Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the Redemption: the power of merciful Love! May it put a stop to evil! May it transform consciences! May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!

-Saint John Paul II, Consecration of all Individuals and Peoples of the World to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, 1984

HOW TO PRAY THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET

 

The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a popular Catholic prayer that is especially meaningful around Easter.
The Divine Mercy Chaplet has its roots in 20th century Poland, when Jesus appeared to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun.

The Divine Mercy Chaplet can be prayed with traditional Rosary beads, though to do so isn’t necessary. The Chaplet only takes a few minutes, and thousands of Catholics around the world pray it every day to ask for God’s mercy.

The period of time from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday (the first Sunday following Easter) is when many Catholics will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.


"Where, if not in the Divine Mercy, can the world find refuge and the light of hope?" -Pope Saint John Paul II

The Divine Mercy Chaplet, also known as the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy, is a powerful prayer in which we ask for God’s mercy.

The Origin of the Chaplet

In the 1930s, Jesus appeared to St. Faustina Kowalska, a humble and kind Polish nun, and revealed to her the depths of His mercy. St. Faustina entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in 1925, but she passed away just thirteen years later from tuberculosis in 1938. Throughout her life of holiness, she continually received revelations from Jesus and diligently wrote down what He told her in her diary. St. Faustina was canonized by St. (Pope) John Paul II on April 30, 2000.

In 1935, an angel appeared to St. Faustina, and she heard the call to pray for mercy. The next day, Christ appeared and urged her to pray the Chaplet herself and with others at the hour of death. She wrote down this revelation in her diary:

"Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you. Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death. When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this Chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy. Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will."

-St. Faustina’s Diary

We pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for mercy — in our own lives and in our neighbors, too. And we also pray to remind ourselves that we must rely on God; we must recognize our weakness and replace our anxieties and worries with abounding trust in God. We pray so that we might honestly live out the words “Jesus, I trust in You.”


Those who sincerely say ‘Jesus, I trust in You’ will find comfort in all their anxieties and fears … There is nothing more man needs than Divine Mercy – that love which is benevolent, which is compassionate, which raises man above his weakness to the infinite heights to the holiness of God.Saint (Pope) John Paul II (Krakow, Poland – June 7, 1997)

You can pray the Chaplet at any time, but here are three times that are especially impactful when praying for God’s mercy:

After Mass
The Divine Mercy is an intercessory prayer that extends the offering of the Eucharist, so it is especially appropriate to use it after receiving Holy Communion at Mass.

Before the Feast of Mercy
The Chaplet may be prayed at any time, but our Lord specifically told St. Faustina to recite it as a novena during the nine days before the Feast of Mercy (the first Sunday after Easter). He then added: “By this Novena, [of Chaplets] I will grant every possible grace to souls.” (St. Faustina’s Diary, 796)

At 3:00 p.m.
3:00 p.m. is known as the “hour of great mercy” in remembrance of Christ’s death on the cross at 3:00 p.m. on Good Friday. Similarly, people often pray the Stations of the Cross at this time.

How to Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet

Time needed: 20 minutes.

Using regular Rosary beads (or your ten fingers), follow this structure:Begin with the sign of the cross.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prepare your heart and mind.

You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

 
Pray the prayer of St. Faustina.

On each of the three small beads, pray:
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You! (x3)

Pray an Our Father.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Pray a Hail Mary.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Pray the Apostle’s Creed.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

First decade

On the first large bead: in the traditional Rosary prayer, we say the Our Father for each large bead. In the Divine Mercy Chaplet, we pray the following:

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

On the ten small beads: In a traditional Rosary prayer, we pray the Hail Mary on each small bead. In the Divine Mercy Chaplet, we pray the following:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (x10)

Repeat this pattern four times.

For each decade: begin with the “Eternal Father” prayer, and then pray, “For the sake” ten times.
After five decades, pray for mercy.

Repeat the following prayer three times:

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. (x3)
Close your time in prayer.

Let us pray: Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.


Conclude with the sign of the cross.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.


Reflection
Devotion to God’s Divine Mercy bears some resemblance to devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In both cases, sinners are encouraged not to despair, not to doubt God’s willingness to forgive them if they repent. As Psalm 136 says in each of its 26 verses, “God’s love [mercy] endures forever.”

Catholic Easter Prayers from various prominent Catholic leaders

 

Catholic Easter Prayers

Here are some prayers from various prominent Catholic leaders to consider during Easter:

Today, as pilgrims in search of hope, we cling to you, Risen Jesus. We turn our backs on death and open our hearts to you, for you are Life itself.

-Pope Francis, 2020

"It is only right, with all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise You Father and Your Only-Begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Dear Father, by Your wondrous condescension of Loving-Kindness toward us, Your servants, You gave up Your Son. Dear Jesus You paid the debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by Your Blood poured forth in Loving-Kindness. You cleared away the darkness of sin by Your magnificent and radiant Resurrection. You broke the bonds of death and rose from the grave as a Conqueror. You reconciled Heaven and earth. Our life had no hope of Eternal Happiness before You redeemed us. Your Resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence and brought us joy. How inestimable is the tenderness of Your Love!"

-Saint Gregory’s Easter Prayer

"Dear brothers and sisters, Easter does not work magic. Just as the Israelites found the desert awaiting them on the far side of the Red Sea, so the Church, after the resurrection, always finds history filled with joy and hope, grief and anguish. And yet, this history is changed, it is marked by a new and eternal covenant, it is truly open to the future. For this reason, saved by hope, let us continue our pilgrimage, bearing in our hearts the song that is ancient and yet ever new: “Let us sing to the Lord: glorious his triumph!”

-Pope Benedict XVI, 2010

"Blessed are you, O Mary, silent witness of Easter! You, O Mother of the Crucified One now risen, who at the hour of pain and death kept the flame of hope burning, teach us also to be, amongst the incongruities of passing time, convinced and joyful witnesses of the eternal message of life and love brought to the world by the Risen Redeemer."

-Pope John Paul II, 2004

Give Thanks and Glory to Jesus Christ With this Good Friday Prayer of Love For The Crucified Lord

 

Use these Good Friday Prayer to praise our Lord, Jesus Christ, give thanks to His sacrifice on the cross, and request that He have mercy on us. May these prayers help your heart and mind to truly appreciate the glorious gift of redemption from sin that Christ has given mankind.

Good Friday Prayer of Love for the Crucified Lord

O Jesus,

it is not the heavenly reward You have promised

which impels me to love You;

neither is it the threat of hell

that keeps me from offending You.

It is You O Lord,

it is the sight of You

affixed to the Cross and suffering insults;

it is the sight of Your broken body,

as well as Your pains and Your death.

There is nothing You can give me

to make me love You.

For even if there were no heaven and no hell

I would still love you as I do!

Offering of the Precious Blood (The Long Version)

Offering of the Precious Blood 
(The Long Version)

Eternal Father,

and with exceeding pain
from the wound of His right hand;
through the merits and virtues of which,
we beseech Thy divine Majesty
to bestow on us Thy sacred benediction,
that by its efficacy
we may be protected from our enemies,
and delivered from every evil.
For this purpose we say:
May the blessing of Almighty God,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
descend upon us,
and remain always with us.
Amen.
(Then say Our Father..., Hail Mary..., and Glory be to the
Father.... once, to the Most Adorable Trinity, in
thanksgiving for all the blessings and benefits we
receive.)
