O mon Jésus, mon Amour, mon Bien suprême, mon Tout, oh! que j’ai insensé de me séparer de Vous par l’amour de viles créatures! Ingrat que je suis! Maintenant je vous embrasse, ô ma Vie, je m’attache à Vous, je ne veux plus vous abondonner, ô mon Trésor, je veux vivre et mourir dans une union continuelle avec Vous.
O my Jesus, my Love, my supreme Good, my All, oh! how foolish I was to separate myself from Thee through the love of vile creatures! Ungrateful that I am! I now embrace Thee, o my Life, I cleave to Thee, I no longer want to abandon Thee, o my Treasure, I wish to live and die in constant union with Thee.

GLORY be to JESUS !
Who in bitter pains
Pour’d for me the life-blood
From his sacred veins.
Grace and life eternal
In that Blood I find;
Bless’d be His compassion,
Infinitely kind!
Bless’d through endless ages
Be the precious stream,
Which from endless torment
Doth the world redeem.
There the fainting spirit
Drinks of life her fill;
There, as in a fountain,
Laves herself at will.
Oh, the Blood of CHRIST !
It soothes the FATHER’S ire,
Opes the gate of heaven,
Quells eternal fire.
Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies,
But the Blood of JESUS
For our pardon cries.
Oft as it is sprinkled
On our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
Terror-struck departs.
Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Hell with terror trembles,
Heaven is filled with joy.
Lift ye, then, your voices;
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder,
Praise the Precious Blood!
100 Days, once a day. Pius VII, October 18, 1815.

MOST Precious Blood of life eternal! price and ransom of the whole universe! drink and bath of the soul! ever pleading the cause of man before the throne of heavenly Mercy! I adore Thee most profoundly; I would, if I were able, make Thee some compensation for the outrages and wrongs Thou dost ever suffer from men, and especially from those who in their rashness dare to blaspheme Thee. Who will not bless this Blood of value infinite? Who does not feel himself inflamed with the love of Jesus, who shed it all for us? What should I be but for this Blood which hath redeemed me? And who drew Thee out of the veins of my Lord, even unto the last drop? It was Love! O immense love, which gave us this saving balsam! O Balsam beyond all price streaming forth from the fount of immeasurable lovel Give to all hearts, all tongues, power to praise, celebrate, and thank Thee now and ever, and throughout eternity. Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving for the Tears of St. Mary Magdalen
May be said as a Novena
July 13th - 21st
St. Mary Magdalen said to St. Mechtilde: "Whoever shall give God thanks for all the tears I shed upon the feet of Jesus, our most merciful God will grant him, through my intercession, remission of all his sins before his death, and a great increase of love of God."
O Most merciful Jesus, I give Thee thanks for that work of piety which the blessed Mary Magdalen wrought on Thee, when she washed Thy feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed them and anointed them with fragrant ointment; whereby she obtained from Thee such signal grace that Thou didst pour into her heart and soul so great a love of Thee that she could love nothing apart from Thee; beseeching Thee that by her merits and intercessions Thou wouldst vouchsafe to grant me tears of true repentance and pour into my heart Thy Divine Love.
Amen.
