THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT
HE OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT BLEMISH TO GOD
TO THE ONE WHO LOVED US
WHO WASHED OUR SINS THROUGH HIS BLOOD
WHO WASHED OUR SINS THROUGH HIS BLOOD
AND MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS OF GOD HIS FATHER
TO HIM BE GLORY AND POWER. AMEN
The Heart of Jesus has made His adorable Blood circulate in His limbs. On the Traditional Feast of the Sacred Heart, the Gospel presents to our view the thrust of the lance which pierced the side of the Divine Crucified, blood and water gushing forth. Thus is united the two testimonies which the Holy Spirit bore to the Messiah, when He was baptized in the water of the Jordan and when He was baptized in the blood on the cross.
Let us venerate and honor the Precious Blood of our Redeemer which the priest offers to God on the altar.
