Novena to the Blood of Christ

After his visions and mystical experiences, Bartolomeo da Saluzzo stated that everything for which we ask God, invoking the Blood of Christ, will be heard. “There is nothing, brothers, that Almighty God would not grant you, if you ask Him perseveringly, in the name of the holy Blood of Jesus.” “When you ask for a grace, pray as follows: ‘O Father, O Son, O Holy Spirit, O Most Holy Trinity, O most pure Virgin Mary, all saints of heaven, I ask for this grace through the shed Blood of my Savior Jesus Christ!’”

The Blood of Jesus drives away demons, breaks all curses, and destroys every work of evil. This holy Blood heals and delivers, transforms and sanctifies. Fr. Bartholomew wrote the novena to the Blood of Christ after a powerful mystical experience in which he saw its effects and miraculous power. “It is the source of our salvation, it is the foundation of life, it is the defense against every darkness.” In modern times, this novena was revived precisely by Father Gabriele Amorth, the Roman exorcist, who himself, from his own experience, presents it as an extraordinarily effective means in the battle against visible and invisible enemies alike. How should this novena be prayed? Each day, seven invocations to the Virgin Mary are recited, invoking the holy shed Blood of her Son Jesus Christ. It is recommended to pray for a specific person.
The first novena, that is, the first nine consecutive days, is prayed for the intention of the gift of salvation for the given person. The second consecutive novena, the next nine days, is prayed for the intention of the conversion of that person.
This very form of prayer is especially effective. In the same way, we may pray for our enemies as well as for our closest family members or for the dying. What is essential, however, is to preserve the order of the recommended intentions: 1. for the gift of salvation for the person, 2. for the gift of conversion for the person. During the novena, we may also have a Holy Mass offered for the given intention.

Novena to the Blood of Christ

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

O immense and eternal Divine Majesty, most Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! I, your creature, humbly adore you and praise you with the greatest reverence and love that your creatures are able to give you. In your presence, in the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of heaven, before the sight of my guardian angel, my holy patrons, and the whole heavenly court, I declare that this prayer and urgent supplication, which I am about to make to the compassionate and merciful Virgin Mary through the merits of the most precious Blood of Jesus, I wish to offer with an honorable intention for your glory, for the salvation of my soul and the soul of my neighbor. Therefore I hope that from you, my loving God and Lord, the highest Good, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, I shall obtain the grace for which I humbly ask through the infinite merits of the most pure Blood of Jesus. What else can I do in the situation in which I find myself, except sincerely confess to you, my God, all my sins which I have committed until now, and ask for their forgiveness and for the cleansing of soul and body in the most precious Blood of Jesus. Yes, my God, I repent of them with all my heart, not out of fear of hell, which I justly deserve, but only because I have offended You, the highest Good, perfect Love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your holy grace, that in the future I shall offend you no more and shall avoid every occasion of sin. Have mercy, Lord, and forgive me! Amen.

Under your protection I take refuge, holy Mother of God; do not turn away from the prayer which my heart presents to you through my lips, O glorious and blessed Virgin, look upon your pleading child!
