The following prayers were given in a private revelation by Our Lord Jesus Christ to St. Bridget of Sweden. They are to be prayed for 12 years. Our Lord promised the following graces to all who will have this devotion:
1. The soul who will pray these prayers will suffer no Purgatory.
2. The soul who will pray these prayers will be accepted among the Martyrs as though he had spilled his blood for the Christian faith.
3. The soul who prays them can choose three other souls whom Jesus will then keep in a state of grace that is sufficient for them to become holy.
4. No one among the four successive generations of the soul who prays these prayers will be lost.
5. The soul who prays these prayers will be made conscious of his death one month in advance.
When the person who has committed himself to pray these prayers dies before the 12 years are over, the Lord will accept the prayers as having been prayed in their entirety. If a few days of prayer are missed due to a valid reason, they can be made up for later.
This devotion was pronounced good, and was recommended by both the "Sacro Collegio de propaganda fide" as well as by Pope Clement XII. Pope Innocent X, in turn, confirmed the revelations of the Lord to St. Bridget.
Prayer Offerings in Honor of the Precious Blood of Jesus
O Jesus, I will pray the Lord's Prayer seven times in union with all the love with which you sanctified this prayer in your heart. Take the prayers from my lips into your Divine Heart. Improve and complete my prayers so that they bring much honor and joy to the Blessed Trinity as you glorified the Trinity. May these prayers bring glory to You because of Your painful Wounds, and the Precious Blood that You poured forth for us.
1. The Circumcision of Jesus - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and through the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the first wounds, the first pains and the first Bloodshed as atonement for all the sins of youth committed by me and by all humanity, and as protection of my relatives from mortal sins.
2. The Agony in the Garden - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and through the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the terrifying suffering of Jesus' Heart on the Mount of Olives and every drop of His Blood that he sweated as atonement for the sins of the heart committed by me and by all humanity, as protection against committing again such sins, and for the spread of the Divine and brotherly love among all.
3. The Flagellation of Jesus - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and through the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the numerous wounds and the gruesome pains that Jesus suffered, as well as Precious Blood that He shed during the flagellation as atonement for the sins of the flesh committed by me and by all humanity, as protection against committing again such sins, and for the preservation of the virtue of innocence among my relatives.
4. The Crowning of Thorns - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and through the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the wounds and pains that Jesus suffered, as well as the Precious Blood that flowed from the Holy Head of Jesus during the crowning with thorns, as atonement for the sins of the spirit committed by me and by all humanity, as protection against committing again such sins, and for the spread of Christ's kingdom on earth.
5. The Carrying of the Cross - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and through the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the sufferings of Jesus on the Way of The Cross --- especially the Holy Wounds he suffered on His shoulders, and the Precious Blood that came from these wounds --- as atonement for rebellions against the Cross, as atonement for every grumbling against Your Holy Will, as atonement for sins of the tongue committed by me and by all humanity, as protection against committing again such sins, and for the spread of true love of the Cross.
6. The Crucifixion of Jesus - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and through the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You Your Son nailed and hanging on the Cross, His wounds on His hands and feet, and the three streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth from these wounds for us, His extreme tortures of the body and soul, His precious death and its unbloody remembrance in all the Holy Masses, as atonement for all the offenses committed against the vows and rules of Religious Life and the Priesthood; as reparation for my personal sins and the sins of the world; as supplication for the sick and the dying, for the priests and the laity, for the Holy Father's intentions towards the restoration of Christian families, for the strengthening of the Faith, for our country, and for unity among all nations in Christ and in His Church and for all the people of the Diaspora.
7. The Piercing of the Side of Jesus - Our Father... Hail Mary...
Eternal Father, accept as our worthy offering the Precious Blood and Water that flowed from the wounds of the Divine Heart of Jesus, for the needs of the Holy Church, and for the atonement of all the sins of humankind. Be gracious and merciful toward us. May the Blood of Christ, the last precious content of His Holy Heart, wash me and others of all the guilt of our sins. May the Water from the side of Christ wash me clean of all the punishments of my sins, and may it extinguish the flames of Purgatory for me and for all the Poor Holy Souls. Amen.
