Chaplet of the Precious Blood

       This devotion consists of 7 mysteries in which we meditate on the 7 principal sheddings of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. The 'Our Father' is said 5 times after each mystery, except after the last (7th mystery), when it is recited only 3 times; (in all, 33 times in honor of the 33 years of Our Lord's life on earth). The 'Glory Be to the Father' is said 1 time after each set of Our Father's, followed by the Invocation to the Precious Blood.
