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. Priests offered animal sacrifices in the Old Testament to atone for both their own and the people's sins. Animal sacrifices are a common way for priests of Jews to express gratitude. Following the burning offering, the priests eat the meat and shower the Alter and its other sacred items with the blood of the sacrificed. Then think about how precious the sacrifice made by Jesus, the Son of God, on the Cross of Calvary will be. For the forgiveness of our sins, He shed His Precious Blood. As Catholics, we partake in the Holy Mass Sacrifice of Jesus' flesh and blood as he shares the eternal meal of his Body and Blood with us for all eternity.
