This litany focuses on the outrages committed against the Blessed Sacrament. FROM HOLY WRIT... Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:54 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, as I in him John 6:56 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. John 6:57 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John 6:58 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. Corinthians 11:27-29 THE LITANY LORD, have mercy upon us.
