Litaniae Pretiosissimi Sanguinis Domini Nostri Iesu Christi (Litany of the Most  
Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ) 

This Litany in honor of Jesus in His Most Precious Blood was drawn up by the Sacred  
Congregation of Rites and promulgated by Pope John XXIII on February 24, 1960. The  
devotion to Jesus in His most Precious Blood was first popularized by St. Gaspar del  
Bufalo (1786-1837, feast Dec. 28) who founded the Missioners of the Most Precious  
Blood. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite this litany.
