The Prayer Seven Thanksgiving for the Seven Shedding of Our Lord's Blood (against the Seven Deadly Sins.)

O most humble Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, eternal praise and thanksgiving be to Thee, because in Thy tenderest age, on the eighth day of Thy mortal life, Thou didst vouchsafe to shed Thy precious and innocent blood for us, and as a true Son of Abraham to bear the pain of circumcision.
By this most holy shedding of Thy Blood, I beg of Thee the grace of humility against all pride and worldly vanity.

O thou whose love is like the pelican's for her young, Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, eternal praise and thanksgiving be to Thee, because in the Garden, out of exceeding anguish of Thy Heart, Thou didst pour forth a bloody sweat, and, wholly resigning Thyself to death, didst offer it to Thy Father.
By this most holy shedding of Thy Blood, I ask of Thee the grace of liberality against all covetousness and avarice.

O most sweet Jesus Christ, Pattern of temperance and self-denial, true God and true Man, eternal praise and thanksgiving be to Thee, because Thou didst allow Thy garments to be torn from Thy bleeding body both before and after the carrying of Thy Cross, which opened Thy wounds again, and caused them to bleed afresh.
By this most holy shedding of Thy Blood, I beseech of Thee the grace of temperance and abstinence against all greediness and gluttony.

By this most holy shedding of Thy Blood, I earnestly pray Thee for the grace of holy zeal and fervour against all sloth and weariness in Thy service, and in every religious exercise.
