DEVOTION TO THE DROPS OF BLOOD LOST BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ON HIS WAY TO CALVARY
ST. Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary, with St. Matilda and St. Bridget, wishing to know something of the Passion of Jesus Christ, offered fervent and special prayers, upon which Our Lord revealed to them:
To all the faithful who shall recite for 3 years, each day, 2 Our Fathers, 2 Hail Marys and 2 Glory Bes, in honor of the drops of Blood I lost, I will concede the following 5 graces:
1st The plenary indulgence and remittance of your sins.
2nd You will be free from the pains of Purgatory.
3rd If you should die before completing the said 3 years, for you it will be the same as if you had completed them.
4th It will be upon your death the same as if you had shed all your blood for the Holy Faith.
5th I will descend from Heaven to take your soul and that of your relatives, until the fourth generation.
Blessed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII in Rome, April 5, 1890

Jesus Christ has risen today. Alleluia!
Blessed by the Light. Blessed by the Water.
Reconciled!
Ransomed!
Redeemed!
My Fellow Roman Catholic Faithful:
ReplyDeleteI must say there's no sin that is great that cannot be forgiven by the crucified Jesus, the Redeemer. After my face to face reconciliation with my priest, I always find that my penance was always easy. My penance for Good Friday was to pray for the sick people in my community for 30 minutes. I said to myself that was easy. I pray every day for the health and well-being of my family and friends.
I also prayed during the Holy Week for the rest of the world, if not all, to convert to the Roman Catholic religion. One by one. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair of Great Britain converted; Former Republican Party Minority Leader Newt Gingrich converted. And one famous actor who converted at his death bed, which struck me so much at the time because it's always never too late, was John Wayne.
God bless us. +
