Consecration to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ & Litany of Humility

LUMINOUS CROSS OF GRACE


Consecration to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

(Please pray daily)


Conscious merciful Savior, of my nothingness, and of Thy sublimity, I cast myself at Thy feet and thank Thee for the many proofs of Thy grace shown to me. Thy ungrateful creature. I thank Thee especially for delivering me by Thy Precious Blood from the destructive power of Satan. In the presence of my dear mother, Mary, my guardian angel, patron saint and of the whole company of heaven I dedicate myself voluntarily with a sincere heart. O dearest Jesus, to Thy Precious Blood, by which Thou hast redeemed the world from sin, death and hell. I promise Thee with the help of Thy grace and foster devotion to thy Precious Blood, the price of our redemption, so that Thy adorable Blood may be honored and glorified by all. In this way, I wish to make reparation for my disloyalty toward Thy Precious Blood of love, and to make satisfaction to thee for the many profanations which men commit against that precious price of their salvation. O would that my own sins, my coldness, and all the acts of disrespect I have ever committed against Thee, O holy, Precious Blood, could be undone. Behold, O dearest Jesus, I offer to Thee the love, honor and adoration, which Thy most holy mother, Thy faithful disciples and all saints have offer Thy Precious Blood. I ask thee to forget my earlier faithlessness and coldness and to forgive all who offend Thee. Sprinkle me, O divine Savior, and all men with thy Precious Blood, so that we, O Crucified Love may love Thee from now on with all our hearts, and worthily honor the Price of our salvation. Amen

Litany of Humility

Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
** Deliver me, Sweet Jesus.
From the desire of being loved, **
From the desire of being extolled, **
From the desire of being honored, **
From the desire of being praised, **
From the desire of being preferred to others, **
From the desire of being consulted, **
From the desire of being approved, **
From the fear of being humiliated, **
From the fear of being despised, **
From the fear of suffering rebukes, **
From the fear of being calumniated, **
From the fear of being forgotten, **
From the fear of being ridiculed, **
From the fear of being wronged, **
From the fear of being suspected, **

That others may be loved more than I,
* Sweet Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more that I, *
That, in the opinion of the world, others
may increase and I may decrease, *
That others may be chosen
And I set aside, *
That others may be praised and I go unnoticed, *
That others may be preferred to me in everything, *
That others may become holier than I
provided that I may become as holy as I should, *

Amen!
