Each red bead of the Precious Blood Chaplet represents a chalice filled with the Divine Blood of Jesus, uplifted by Our Lady to the Eternal Father, imploring every grace necessary for your soul and body.
This Chaplet is divided into 7 groups, containing 33 "Our Father's" in honor of the 33 years during which the Precious Blood flowed through the veins of Jesus Christ, before It was all poured out on the Cross for our salvation. After each group, a "Glory Be" is recited in thanksgiving to the Holy Trinity for this great gift of the Precious Blood. While reciting these prayers, meditate on the 7 blood sheddings of Jesus:
