Feast of the Precious Blood – 1 July 2020

“Redemisti nos, Domine, in sanguine tuo… You have redeemed us, o Lord, with your Blood.”

We, the Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood, honour in a special way the Blood of Christ, through which he redeemed ALL people, from every tribe and tongue, people and nation. (Revelation 5:9-10)   Inspired by our Founder, Abbot Francis Pfanner, join us in praying and singing his daily prayer:

O you Saints of Almighty God

obtain for me the grace I need,

this I ask through the Precious Blood

of my Redeemer Jesus Christ.

  • Always to do the will of God, to be united to God I pray.   Refrain
  • To do everything for the love of God, to think of nothing but of God I pray.  Refrain
  • To seek in all things the glory of God, to realize my own nothingness I pray.  Refrain
  • To keep a spirit of recollection,  to recognize better the will of God.  Refrain

Daily Prayer of Abbot Francis Pfanner (1825-1909)

As we step into the Jubilee Year from December 2024 to 2025,

let us invite God the Holy Spirit to enable us to be real pilgrims of Hope

in our communities and among the people we serve. 

 

Father in heaven,

may the faith you have given us

in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,

and the flame of charity enkindled

in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

reawaken in us the blessed hope

for the coming of your Kingdom.

 

May your grace transform us

into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.

May those seeds transform from within both humanity

and the whole cosmos

in the sure expectation

of a new heaven and a new earth,

when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,

your glory will shine eternally.

 

May the grace of the Jubilee

reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,

a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread

the joy and peace of our Redeemer

throughout the earth.

To you our God, eternally blessed,

be glory and praise for ever.

Amen (more…)
