Missionaries of the Precious Blood: Precious Blood Prayers

Prayer and confidence in God's goodness must be the anchor of our salvation, and the Lord's peace must abound in our souls.
St. Gaspar, Letter 1814

The prayers below are rooted in the spirituality of the Precious Blood. Some have been part of the tradition for many years, others are more recent. We invite you to join us in prayer and with us come to know the power of the Precious Blood.
