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.
