God is stronger than the world which opposes God's teachings
Dedication of Oneself:
Jesus, in Your passion, I see You covered with the wounds of Your scourging, crowned with thorns, Your feet and hands pierced with nails, your side opened by the spear. I adore You and acknowledge You as my Saviour and my Lord.
Grieved at the sight of the Blood which flowed from your wounds for my redemption, I desire to dedicate myself to the worship of Your life-giving Blood and to atone by an exemplary life for all the insults that you suffer every day in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar. I desire to pay frequent homage to Your Precious Blood and to spread this devotion.
I want every beat of my heart to be a renewal of this dedication, an act of gratitude and love towards Your Redeeming Blood, a perpetual offering of its merits in favour of sinners and of all those dear to me. May this act of dedication be an expression of the praise of the elect in heaven: “To the Lamb who redeemed us by His Blood be honour, glory and benediction forever.” Amen.
St. Mary Mackillop, pray for us.
