July is the month of the Precious Blood: "Let us fix our gaze on the Blood of Christ and realize how truly precious It is, seeing that it was poured out for our salvation and brought the grace of conversion to the whole world" (Pope St Clement I, c.96AD)
1 Corinthians 10:16 (NJB): The blessing-cup, which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ; and the loaf of bread which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? When we attend Holy Mass and the priest bless the cup with the wine and after the consecration the wine becomes Blood of Christ which Jesus poured out for us and for many with his love and mercy. The bread which priest bless consecrated becomes the Body of Christ. The Blood and Body became Divine and that calls the transubstantiation and we believe the presence of Jesus, Son of God and the true substance to give us faith and God made it for our salvation.
