The Holy Face of Jesus Christ crowned with thorns, His Precious Blood shed for our salvation

31 Days of Fasting & Prayer Immersion in the Precious Blood
of Jesus Christ

Join Prayer Group

July is the Month of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. This 31-day programme calls us to immerse ourselves in the Most Precious Blood shed for the salvation of the world through fasting and prayer in union with the redemptive suffering of Our Lord.

Fasting: Fast on all days except Sundays. Sundays are days of resurrection joy; rest from fasting, but continue in prayer.

First Half (Days 1–15 · July 1–15): Focus on the Wounds and Blood of Christ.
Second Half (Days 16–31 · July 16–31): Deepen into adoration of the Precious Blood and the Holy Wounds.

Sundays in July 2026: 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th: no fasting; prayers only.

Fasting Guidelines

Fast according to your capacity, but fast as long as possible each day. There is no single rule; your offering to God is what matters.

Sick persons and pregnant women should not fast from food. Your prayers and devotion are your fast.

If you cannot fast from food and water, you may offer another form of fasting: abstaining from social media, entertainment, certain foods or pleasures, or any sacrifice freely chosen and offered to the Lord.

Whatever your fast, unite it to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and offer it for the intentions of this programme.
