Friday Litany: Litany of the Precious Blood (new version)

The revised version of the litany from last week. I think each has something good to offer for prayer and contemplation. Also found at Catholic Youth Networking.

Litany of the Precious Blood
From the 1991 Enchiridion of Indulgences

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy

God our Father of Heaven, have mercy on us.
God the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us.
God the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, One God, have mercy on us.

Response: be our salvation.

Blood of Christ, only Son of the Father,
Blood of Christ, Incarnate Word,
Blood of Christ, of the new and eternal covenant,
Blood of Christ, that spilled to the ground,
Blood of Christ, that flowed at the scourging,
Blood of Christ, dripping from the thorns,
Blood of Christ, shed on the Cross,
Blood of Christ, the price of our redemption,
Blood of Christ, our only claim to pardon,
Blood of Christ, our blessing cup,
Blood of Christ, in which we are washed,
Blood of Christ, torrent of mercy,
Blood of Christ, that overcomes evil,
Blood of Christ, strength of the martyrs,
Blood of Christ, endurance of the saints,
Blood of Christ, that makes the barren fruitful,
Blood of Christ, protection of the threatened,
Blood of Christ, comfort of the weary,
Blood of Christ, solace of the mourner,
Blood of Christ, hope of the repentant,
Blood of Christ, consolation of the dying,
Blood of Christ, our peace and refreshment,
Blood of Christ, our pledge of life,
Blood of Christ, by which we pass to glory,
Blood of Christ, most worthy of honor,

Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

V. Lord, You redeemed us by Your Blood.
R. You have made us a kingdom to serve our God.

Let us pray:
Father, by the blood of Your Son, You have set us free and saved us from death. Continue Your work of love within us, that by constantly celebrating the mystery of our salvation, we may reach the eternal life it promises. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
