I've seen andysloan promoting this devotion, and I've had some concern for it's parallels to the Divine Mercy devotion of Sister Faustina (condemned by the Holy See).

What exactly are the parallells?

Dear SenzaDubbio,

Visionary: Sr. Marie-Marthe Chambon

On Good Friday of 1849 or 1850, at the hamlet of Croix-Rouge, Françoise Chambon, oldest daughter of a poor family with 8 children, allegedly saw Christ in the crypt of the Church of Lémenc. "He was nailed to the cross, completely covered in blood, completely torn. In what a terrible state he was! He did not say anything" stated the young girl. Then she claimed to have visions of Jesus every time she received communion. Franciose entered the Visitandines of Chambery on April 29, 1863, and took the name of Marie-Marthe. Awhile later, the Virgin appeared to her and said:"His blood running empty is one thing, however, that will never happen." Every day the mother superior took notes on her revelations. She was a stigmatic from June 12, 1874 and died on June 12, 1907. Her process of canonization has begun.

I can say this, Devotions to the Precious Blood by Rev. M. F. Walz, Confraternity of the Precious Blood Society are in a book www.JoyfulCatholic.com. And it is approved and this book is very nice reprinted but not changed 1926. Founder is St. Gaspar. And the nuns "were" known as the "adorers of the Precious Blood". Carthegenia, OH St. Charles Seminary started about 1900 and was finished in 1903. They are now New Order, very sad, but the book and devotions are available to the public. Fr. Faber wrote a book on the Precious Blood and there is another book "All for Jesus".

When you read Fr. Faber's book, he will say things you may never have heard of. All the sacraments have His Precious Blood. The Power is more than one can fathom! This is why the enemy destroyed the Mass and the words, form and matter of the sacraments.

Our Lady's blood is also to be in knowledge of. Very good readings and you will come out with mysteries that may have been unknown to you!

Chaplet of the Five Wounds: Its history blessing and indulgences
by Rev. Fr. Warren [Womack], C.P.
From The Passionist Dec. 1951, pp. 270-274, 333-334

It is well to note here that the recent (1939) decree of the Holy Office condemning a certain "Rosary of the Holy Wounds," does not refer to our Passionist Five Wound Beads. This is evident from the fact that the Cardinals of the Holy Office, in their decree forbidding the new Rosary, were following out an earlier decree, of May 26, 1937, "de novis cultus seu devotionis formulis non introducendis, deque inolitis in re abusibus tollendis." [17] On the other hand, our Five Wound Beads has been approved by special docuмents by the Holy See, and is found in the Collection of Prayers and Pious Works, n. 96, which the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences declared genuine and authentic by its decree of June 23, 1898. In the latest authentic collection, edited by the Sacred Penitentiary on Dec. 31, 1937, there is no mention of the Five Wound Beads, because this collection excludes indulgences "the gaining of which require the blessing of some priest, whether regular or secular, imparted to the object of piety." [18]

The decree of the Holy Office, therefore, seems to refer to a certain new form of devotion, called the Rosary of the Holy Wounds or the Rosary of Mercy. This new Chaplet, consisting of ejaculatory prayers only, and claiming many magnificent promises from God, was achieving much publicity during the period shortly before the decree.
