Devotion to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus honors the blood He shed for the redemption of the world, poured out in the Garden of Gethsemane, during the Scourging, the Crowning with Thorns, and finally upon the Cross at Calvary. Each drop stands as a witness to His boundless love and mercy, the price paid for the salvation of every soul.
The Church sets aside the month of July to deepen devotion to this saving Blood, recalling that through it we are cleansed of sin, redeemed, and drawn into closer communion with God. Throughout the centuries, the saints have treasured this devotion as a fountain of grace, a source of strength in trial, and a pledge of eternal life.
In preparation for this month of devotion, the Novena of the Most Precious Blood will begin on June 22.
