O My Saviour, I cannot say that I am guiltless of Thy Blood; nay, I am most guilty of it. My sins pressed Thee to the earth in Gethsemane; they were the scourges and the thorns that drew blood from Thee; the executioners that tortured Thee! Truly Thou mayest say to me, “Thy hands are full of Blood!” Ah, Merciful Lord, I see and confess my guilt; but I cry from a penitent heart, Thy Blood be upon me, not as a curse, but as a blessing, and a purification! May Thy Blood clothe and adorn my Soul, which is vile and naked. May it be to me a glorious ornament. With Thy Blood do Thou satisfy and quicken the longing and thirsting of my Soul. May Thy Blood be as healing balm to My wounds. May Thy Blood raise me from Death in Sin into Life in God.
