The Precious Blood of Jesus

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

     I've heard it said before that in Jesus' agony, passion and crucifixion, that the sweet angels of heaven followed HIM, and with every drop of Blood that He shed, they would tenderly gather and place in a Holy chalice.

     Every drop that lay in our good Jesus' body was shed. Our Mother, Mary, Her heart breaking with the most Precious Blood upon her gown from holding Him in Her arms was surely a bitter Treasure to Her Heart. Along with His Blood and Her most precious tears, we can easily  visualize, as the Blood and Water that flowed at the piercing of His side. Therefore uniting our dear Mother to every minute of His Passion and Death. Ave Maria!

     The priest raises the Holy chalice at the sacrifice of the mass and at that moment, God accepts the offering. How Holy a moment. To realize, in our souls, that Jesus is actually offering His own Blood to His (our) own Father.

     Every Mass should be held with great esteem and honor. In Thanksgiving to God for allowing us to participate. Doing this in remembrance of that magnificent moment, should be something we cherish with all our being. 

     May we cherish this great gift as many times as possible and close are eyes and behold the "Giver of ALL Good Things", our Almighty God.
