Happy Feast Day!

[MinimalistAcolyte]

Today is (was) the Feast of the Most Precious Blood . For all those who follow the old liturgical calendar, Happy Feast Day. To all of those who are unfortunately not blessed any longer with this wonderful feast, here is a little prayer to add to the list of things that need to be given back to the church (John Paul II gave us back the feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, maybe Benedict will give Corpus Christi back its twin instead of keeping them as conjoined?)

"Domine Jesu Christe, qui de caelis ad terram de sinu Patris descendisti et Sanguinem tuum pretiosum in remissionem peccatorum nostrorum fudisti: te humiliter deprecamur, ut in die iudicii ad dexteram tuam audire mereamur: Venite benedicte. Qui vivas et regnas in saecula saeculorum. Amen."

'Lord Jesus Christ, who came down from heaven to earth from the bosom of the Father, and did shed Your precious Blood for the remission of our sins: we humbly beseech You, that in the day of judgment we may be worthy to hear, standing at Your right hand: Come, ye blessed. Who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.'
