evotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus is one of the oldest devotions in the Church (see message - 5 July 1996). 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.

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:

“The soul who during life has honored and studied the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and has offered them to the Eternal Father for the souls in Purgatory, will be accompanied at the moment of death by the Holy Virgin and the angels; and Our Lord on the Cross all brilliant with glory will receive her and crown her.”

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, to pray for the conversion of sinners everywhere, and to offer sacrifices for the liberation of the poor souls from Purgatory. He asks 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 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.

The Precious Blood Devotion
is a daily call to holiness.
It is the ultimate weapon against Satan and evil spirits, so prayer warriors are urgently needed to pray and spread this Devotion.
This Devotion is rich with many prayers, services, hymns, and sacramentals, such as the Agonizing Crucifix depicted as Our Lord commanded.

Minimal preparation before consecration consists of praying the devotion prayers daily, after Our Lady's Rosary, and the Gethsemane Hours weekly for at least 5 months.
