O blood of Jesus, inebriate me with the love of Jesus! O wounds of Jesus, pierce me with the love of Jesus! O death of Jesus, make me die to all love which is not for Jesus! My Jesus, I love Thee above all things; I love Thee with my whole soul; I love Thee more than I love myself. St Alphonsus Liguori.
July is the month of the Precious Blood of Jesus
Most Precious Blood of Jesus: Price of our salvation, refreshment of souls, precious dew poured out from the Wounds of Christ to soothe the torment of our weakness, to strengthen & heal us, our hope & solace, pledge of eternal life.
Matthew 26:28 (NJB): 28 for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. The Everlasting Covenant was made when Jesus shed his own blood. Before his execution on Calvary, he enacted the mystery Eucharist while eating a meal with the apostles at the table on Passover. There is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood. That was the reason Heavenly Father gave His only Son to be sacrificed on the Cross at Calvary. We Catholics are extremely grateful for the salvation God has planned for us since the beginning of the world.
Hebrews 12:23–24 (NJB): You have come to God himself, the supreme Judge, and to the spirits of the upright who have been made perfect; 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to purifying blood which pleads more insistently than Abel’s. Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross at Calvary established the Eternal Everlasting Covenant for all of humanity. He established the Covenant by spilling his pure Precious Blood. So, let us draw closer to him by trusting and believing in him till eternity.
