Precious Blood of Jesus

Precious Blood of Jesus,

‘Precious Blood, ocean of divine mercy: Flow upon us! Precious Blood, most pure offering: procure us every grace! Precious Blood, hope and refuge of sinners: Atone for us! Precious Blood, delight of holy souls: Draw us!’ Amen

– St. Catherine of Siena

Jesus' purifying Blood will qualify us to live in his presence

 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. What a blessing that God has called us to join Him. We will be in Heaven when the Supreme Judge appears. The new covenant was established there, alongside the Spirits of Righteousness, the Saints' Communion, and Jesus Christ the Mediator. How Jesus established the New Covenant with his own blood, which is worth more than Abel's. He purifies us so that we might give an oblation sacrifice. Saints are appropriate for dwelling in God's presence. They are faultless, and they were purchased with Jesus' Precious Blood, the firstborn for Jesus Christ, the throne of grace. You were bought with a great price. You were purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own. So then, honor and glorify God with your body." (1 Corinthians 6:20)
