O Jesus, sweetness of hearts...

 This statue in a side chapel of Salamanca Cathedral (western Spain) vividly shows the

blood flowing from Christ's wounds which is being collected in chalices by angels.

“Oh Jesus! Sweetness of hearts, delight of the spirit,

by the bitterness of the vinegar and gall which Thou didst

taste on the Cross for Love of us, grant us the grace to receive worthily Thy Precious Body and Blood during our life

and at the hour of our death, that they may serve

as a remedy and consolation for our souls. Amen.”
