Rejoice, heavenly powers! Sing, choirs of angels!
Exult, all creation around God's throne!
Jesus Christ, our King, is risen!
Sound the trumpet of salvation!
For Christ has ransomed us with His blood,
and paid for us the price of Adam's sin
to our eternal Father!
Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor,
radiant in the brightness of your King!
Christ has conquered! Glory fills you!
Darkness vanishes forever!
This is the number of Drops of Blood Christ spilt for us.
Jesus revealed that He wishes us to revere these Drops of Precious Blood with this daily devotion:
2 Our Fathers
2 Hail Mary's
2 Glory Be's
Will you honor His Precious Blood on Good Friday?
My sweet Savior, it was my sins that nailed You to the Cross. You took my place at the pillar and bore every scourge that I rightfully deserved, endured each insult and blow for love of me, a wretched sinner.
Have mercy on me and make my heart like unto Thine.

This Holy Thursday, we challenge you to pray the Gethsemane Hour.
St. Gemma Galgani prayed a Holy Hour every Thursday night to accompany Christ during His Agony. He promised to all those who keep and spread devotion to His Agony in the Garden:
† total and final victory over their worst temptation
† efficacy to save holy souls in Purgatory
† enlightenment and strength to fulfill My Will
Follow St. Gemma's Gethsemane Hour after sundown tonight!

The very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road.
The crowds preceding him and those following kept crying out and saying:
"Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest."
And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?"
And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee."
-Matthew 21:8-11
