Prayer in Honor of the Precious Blood

by Sr. Joyce Lehman

We are all washed clean in the blood of the Lamb,

our sins forgiven, our hearts strengthened,

our lives given purpose.

Grant to me, this day, O Saving God,

the power of the precious blood

so that I might see the violence and disharmony

around and within me.

Move me to bring your life-giving love, your reconciling power

to those who do not know you and cannot hear your voice

in the events of their lives.

May this day be one of praise and honor

to the saving blood of Jesus. Amen.
