Commemoratio Pretiossimi Sanguinis Commemoratio Pretiossimi Sanguinis Commemoration of the Most Precious Blood From the Roman Breviary for the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, July 1. In the revised Liturgy there is no longer a separate feast of the Most Precious Blood. Instead it was added to the feast of Corpus Christi, making that feast properly called the Sollemnitas Sacratissimi Corporis et Sanguinis Christi. This was done, in part, to emphasize that each of the Eucharistic elements contains the Body, Soul, Blood, and Divinity of Christ.
Te ergo quaesumus, tuis famulis subveni.
Quos pretioso sanguine redemisti. We beseech Thee, therefore help Thy servants. Whom Thou hast ransomed with Thy Precious Blood. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who livest and reignest with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.
