Blood of Jesus, inebriate me!
O Jesus, my Beloved Savior,
ever present in the Tabernacle,
to be the strength,
the joy and the food of souls,
I come to consecrate myself to Your Precious Blood,
and to pledge You my sincere love and fidelity.
Pierced with sorrow at the remembrance of Your sufferings,
the contemplation of the Cross,
and the thought of the outrages
and contempt lavished by ungrateful souls
upon Your dear Blood,
I long, O my Jesus,
to bring joy to Your Heart,
and to make You forget my sins,
and those of the whole world,
by consecrating my body and soul to Your service.
I desire, my Jesus, to live henceforth,
only by Your Blood and for Your Blood.
I now choose It as my greatest treasure
and the dearest object of my love.
