Precious Blood of Jesus

Precious Blood of Jesus, Part IV

“This Blood that but one drop of has the power to win all the world forgiveness of its world of sin.” - St. Thomas Aquinas

2 Chronicles 29:22 (NJB): So, they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it over the altar. They then slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood over the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood over the altar. Jesus shed His own blood to establish the New Everlasting Covenant, which was the Heavenly Father's plan as promised to the Prophets. If the blood of bulls, rams, and lambs can purify the alter where the temple offers sacrifices, how much more can the Blood of Jesus purify all the altars in God's Churches throughout the world and beyond? Jesus built the New Alters with his one and only sacrifice, and sanctified all the alters where the Holy Masses are celebrated.

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.

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)

 

The Light and Darkness

 

Part XXXXIX

The False Prophets

Lord lead us to Your Truth, Your Word is Truth

  The false prophets will lead us away from the truth of Jesus, the true light. All dreams and visions will be based solely on God's Word; if the Word does not come from God, the dream and vision are false. The prophesy will be erroneous if the Lord does not speak because the prophet is not speaking from God. Jeremiah 23:28–29 (NJB): Let the prophet who has had a dream tell it for a dream! And let him who receives a word from me, deliver my word accurately! ‘What have straw and wheat in common? Yahweh demands. 29 Is my word not like fire, Yahweh demands, is it not like a hammer shattering a rock?

  In the end times, many false prophets will appear to deceive us, and we may abandon our true trust in Jesus Christ. So, we shouldn't listen to them. Never go to hear the Word of God from another Charism; each Charism has a particular type of teaching, and we have a unique Charism of the Word of God. There are numerous incorrect teachings that stem from false instructors, and we should not involve with them to hear and give attention to such doctrines. 1 Timothy 4:1–2 (NJB): The Spirit has explicitly said that during the last times some will desert the faith and pay attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines that come from devils, 2 seduced by the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are branded as though with a red-hot iron:

  1Timothy 6:2–5 (NJB): This is what you are to teach and urge. 3 Anyone who teaches anything different and does not keep to the sound teaching, which is that of our Lord Jesus Christ, the doctrine, which is in accordance with true religion, 4 is proud and has no understanding, but rather a weakness for questioning everything and arguing about words. All that can come of this is jealousy, contention, abuse and evil mistrust; 5 and unending disputes by people who are depraved in mind and deprived of truth, and imagine that religion is a way of making a profit. There are many false teachings are there by using the Prosperity way of teaching the Gospel. Always keep away from any kind of disputes which no meaning or no connection in spiritual things. The sound doctrine will empower us to reach to the Kingdom of God.

Precious Blood of Jesus

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.

Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

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.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Sacred Heart, Day 30

When we appeal to the throne of grace we do so through Mary, honoring God by honoring His Mother, imitating Him by exalting her, touching the most responsive chord in the sacred heart of Christ with the sweet name of Mary.”

Saint Robert Bellarmine S.J. Doctor of the Church

Lord, teach us how to love you, keep us close to your Sacred Heart.

Pr 4: 4-6 This was what he used to teach me, ‘Let your heart treasure what I have to say, keep my principles and you will live; 5 acquire wisdom, acquire understanding, never forget her, never deviate from my words. 6 Do not desert her, she will keep you safe; love her, she will watch over you. The Lord is communicating to us in these verses; if we value God's Word in our hearts and live by it, we will live. Our Lord will live in our hearts, and he will govern our thoughts and actions. Never ignore God's counsel or veer from the Holy Spirit's teachings. There is one thing, and it is a mystery: if we work hard for wisdom with Mother Mary, she will assist us in our petitions. We should not abandon her; we should cherish her because she will keep us safe and watch over us day and night. This is what Jesus asks us to accomplish.

 

  Ps 42: 1-2As a deer yearns for running streams, so I yearn for you, my God. 2 I thirst for God, the living God; when shall I go to see the face of God? Our hearts should seek Jesus our Lord; his heart is eager to embrace us. We should have zeal for our Lord. The Psalmist is wailing and pleading with his shattered heart, asking the Lord when he would be able to see the face of God.

Lord, teach us how to love you, keep us close to your Sacred Heart. Lord, let your Mother help us in our prayers and petitions and guard our souls from all kinds of evil intentions.
