Chaplet of the Precious Blood

INTRODUCTION
During those times in our lives when we do not feel
God’s love, it is most beneficial to meditate on Jesus’
crucifixion and the many wounds he suffered out of
love for us. It freshens in our minds the great pain
Jesus endured and the profound depth of his love.
One way to enter into Jesus’ Passion is to meditate
on the wounds he received and the blood that
poured forth from those wounds. It is an ancient
 INTRODUCTION
devotion in the Church, one that has roots in the
New Testament. For example, in the First Letter of
John we read, “If we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin” (1
John 1:7).
 INTRODUCTION
The Chaplet is composed of 33 beads in memory of
the 33 years of Jesus' life on earth. The Our Father
prayer is recited 33 times in honor of the 33 years
the Precious Blood flowed in the veins of Jesus
before it was all poured out on the Cross for our
salvation. The beads are separated into seven
sections that correspond with seven times that Jesus
shed His Precious Blood.
 INTRODUCTION
The Our Father is said five times after each mystery
except the last, when it is said three times. In all, 33
Our Fathers are said in honour of the 33 years of the
life of Our Lord Jesus on earth.
