Offering of the Precious Blood

 

Eternal Father,

 

I offer You the most precious Blood of Your Divine Son, Jesus,
in union with the Masses said throughout the world today,

 

for all the holy souls in Purgatory and for sinners everywhere,
for sinners in the Universal Church,

 

for those in my own home
and for those within my family. Amen.

Saint Gertrude the Great
