The Rosary of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus consists of five decades, just like the traditional Rosary. However, instead of meditating on the 20 Mysteries of the Holy Rosary, we meditate on the five wounds of Jesus that caused him to shed his Precious Blood for us. Each decade is recited in honour of a specific wound of Jesus.
The first decade is recited in honour of the wound in Jesus’ hands and wrists from the nails that held him to the cross. The second decade is recited in honour of the wound in Jesus’ feet from the nails that held him to the cross. The third decade is recited in honour of the wound in Jesus’ side from the lance that pierced him after he died. The fourth decade is recited in honour of the wounds in Jesus’ head from the crown of thorns that was placed on his head. The fifth decade is recited in honour of the wounds on Jesus’ back from the scourging he received.
While reciting each decade of the Rosary of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, we also pray the “Eternal Father” prayer in honour of the entire Holy Trinity. We also pray the “Precious Blood of Jesus” prayer after each Hail Mary.
This powerful prayer can be said anytime and anywhere, but it is particularly effective during times of struggle and suffering. It is a prayer that reminds us of the great sacrifice Jesus made for us and the immense love he has for us. It is a prayer that helps us to focus on Jesus’ passion and death, and to unite our own sufferings with his.
The Rosary of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus is also associated with the devotion of the Holy Face of Jesus Christ. This devotion is based on the image of the Holy Face of Jesus, which many believe was imprinted on the Veil of Veronica. This veil was said to have been used to wipe the face of Jesus as he carried the cross. The image of Jesus’ face on this veil is believed to be the same as the image on the Shroud of Turin.
The Holy Face of Jesus devotion encourages us to contemplate the face of Jesus, particularly in his sufferings. It invites us to enter into a deeper relationship with Jesus, and to reflect on his mercy and compassion. The Rosary of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus is a beautiful way to honour the Holy Face of Jesus and to deepen our devotion to him.
In conclusion, the Rosary of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus is a powerful prayer that should be more widely known and practiced. It is a prayer that reminds us of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for our salvation, and it invites us to unite our sufferings with his. It is also a prayer that is associated with the devotion of the Holy Face of Jesus, which is a beautiful way to contemplate the face of our Saviour. So, let us take up this Rosary and make it a part of our daily prayer routine, and allow the power of the Precious Blood of Jesus to transform our lives.
