Lord Jesus, we humbly implore you to protect us by your Precious Blood,
Matthew 27:24–26 (NJB): So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ 25 And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ 26 Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.
When Pilate was about to pronounce his decision on Jesus, he considered not giving him the death penalty. Pilate told the Jews that he was not guilty of Jesus' blood. But the Jews were not ready to release Jesus; instead, they wanted to kill him and crucify him. They all yelled, "Let the Blood of Jesus be on us and on our children!" The Jews were unwilling to release Jesus the innocent, yet Jesus was regarded as a criminal. The Jews were responsible for Jesus' crucifixion, and he shed his Precious Blood for all humanity in order to rescue us unconditionally. The ultimate reality is that God is crucified when He is born in the flesh of His only Son.
Lord Jesus, we humbly implore you to protect us by your Precious Blood, free us from all kind of malices and wickedness of this world.
