Devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus is one of the oldest devotions in the Church. Our Blessed Mother adored the Most Precious Blood of her infant Son on the day of His circumcision as the first drops of His Precious Blood were shed amongst many tears for the salvation of our sinful humanity. During His public life, hers was the heart He sought for consolation at the end of His long, tiring journeys of preaching to his own people who many times treated him with anger, ridicule or indifference. After the Passion and death of her beloved Son, Our Sorrowful Mother walked the Via Dolorosa again and again consoling her Son in his bitter sacrifice and adoring His Precious Blood poured out willingly with such great love amidst such violence and hatred in order to save us all. St. Catherine of Siena was a great adorer of the Precious Blood, so much so that her last words were "Blood...Blood...Blood!" The prayer she composed to the Precious Blood of Jesus which she was known to pray frequently for sinners is:
St. Gaspar del Buffalo (died 1837) renowned apostle of the Precious Blood and founder of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood (C.PP.S) used to say that he wished he had a thousand tongues to preach about the power of the Blood of Jesus for the salvation of all. Prophetically, St. Gaspar said, "No! The chastisements of God are not yet at end; still more sorrowful times are ahead; and divine justice will be placated by the devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ." At the turn of the twentieth century, Our Lord appeared to Sr. Mary Martha Chambon (1841-1907) of the Monastery of the Visitation in Chambery, France. He gave her a double mission to adore and invoke the Sacred Wounds unceasingly and to revive this devotion in the hearts of creatures. Our Lord said:
Pope John XXIII stated, "The world can still set itself right and always will be able to, because the voice and Blood of Christ cry out for pity and mercy... Devotion to the Precious Blood is the devotion of our time...It is devotion for all souls, for the whole world." Now at the dawning of the twenty-first century, Our Lord has come again to wake us from our slumber and to plead with us to return to this powerful devotion to console Him, to adore His Precious Blood, and in return, He will bless us. In 1995, in the village of Olo in Nigeria, a nearly illiterate teenage boy was called by Our Lord to renew this devotion for the world. From his diary we read:
Our Lord is asking us to pray for deliverance for those under ancestral curses, for the protection and unity of the flock of the faithful, for all men to take refuge in His Sacred Side, for the sustenance of the faith through bitter trials, for the manifestation of the Divine Will, for endurance for all men through the coming chastisement, against a fall in faith under trial, and to vanquish Satan and his agents. He also asks us to pray for His Glorious Reign on earth, for strength against the sins of the flesh, and for the Baptism of aborted babies.
Our Lord gave a rich deposit of teachings from the angels and saints in heaven on the virtues and how we can perfect these virtues in our own lives. He has also enriched this particular devotion with powerful sacramentals. This Devotion is the Ark of the End Times for Your Family and the Church
