5 - Pray to the Poor Souls My Jesus, by the sorrows Thou didst suffer in Thine agony in the Garden, in Thy scourging and
crowning with thorns, on the way to Calvary, in Thy cruci xion and death, have mercy on the souls in purgatory, and
especially on those that are most forsaken; do Thou deliver them from the terrible torments they endure; call them and
admit them to Thy most sweet embrace in paradise. Amen. Blessed Souls, I have prayed for thee. I entreat thee, who are so
dear to God and who are secure of never losing Him, to pray for and intercede for me in my request, who am a miserable
sinner, in danger of being damned and losing God forever.

NOVENA TO THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS

Each day start with ”In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Remember to pray for the
personal intentions of those in the group. For example, say: “Lord, I ask that you grant the intentions of each person praying
this novena in our group”, then mention your own request.
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 ef cacy.
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: request.
O Thou, who during all the days of Thy mortal life consoled so many sufferings, healed so many
in rmities, 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 ow 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.
