Part III
Precious Blood of Jesus
The chastisements of God are not yet at an end; still more sorrowful times are ahead; and divine justice will be placated by the devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.” (St. Gaspar del Bufalo)
Precious Blood, ocean of Divine Mercy, flow upon us!
Deuteronomy 12:27 (NJB): The burnt offerings of meat and blood must be presented on the altar of Yahweh your God; whereas, in your sacrifices, the blood must be poured on the altar of Yahweh your God; the meat you yourselves may eat. In the Old Testament, priests sacrificed animals for the sins of the people as well as themselves. Priests frequently perform animal sacrifices as a form of thanksgiving. The priests sprinkle the blood on the Alter and its other holy artifacts, and they consume the meat after the burnt offering. Then consider how valuable Jesus, the Son of God,'s sacrifice on the Cross in Calvary will be. He bled His Precious Blood for the remission of our sin. As Catholics, the priest offers the Body and Blood of Jesus on the Altar, and we eat his Flesh and Blood as he shares the everlasting Meal with us for all eternity.
