July is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus! On July 1st, the feast of the Most Precious Blood is celebrated. “The feast of the Precious Blood of our Lord was instituted in 1849 by Pius IX, but the devotion is as old as Christianity. The early Fathers say that the Church was born from the pierced side of Christ, and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood.” (https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/overviews/months/07_1.cfm)

St. Catherine of Siena prayed often to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. “Blood. Some of us are wary of the sight of it or even repulsed, but in St. Catherine’s landscape, there is no turning away. The biological truth that blood is life and the transcendent truth that the blood of Christ is eternal life are deeply embedded in her spirituality.” (https://aleteia.org/2017/04/29/catherine-of-siena-drunk-on-the-blood-of-christ/)
