NT. Thou hast redeemed us, O Lord, in Thy Blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us a kingdom to our God.

"V. God hath graced us in His beloved Son.

"R. In Whom we have redemption through His Blood.

LMIGHTY and eternal God, Who didst appoint Thine only-begotten Son the Redeemer of the world, and didst will to be appeased by His Blood, grant, we beseech Thee, that we may so honor this, the price of our Redemption, and, by its virtue, be so defended from the evils of our present life on earth, as to enjoy its fruit in heaven forevermore. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

1. Eternal Father! I offer Thee the merits of the most Precious Blood of Jesus, Thy beloved Son and my divine Redeemer, for the propagation and exaltation of my dear Mother the holy Church, for the safety and prosperity of her visible head, the holy Roman Pontiff, for the Cardinals, Bishops, and pastors of souls, and for all the ministers of the sanctuary.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
