July 2, 2020 Reflection – The Precious Blood of Jesus

(c) Mary TV

Dear Family of Mary!

“…Out of love, the Blood of my Son was shed for you. That Precious Blood is for your salvation, for eternal life…” (May 2, 2019)

Yesterday was the “old” feast of the Precious Blood of Jesus, according to Fr. Leon. He gave a very powerful and serious homily at the English Mass yesterday. I hope to transcribe it for us soon. But at the end of the homily he told us about the Litany of the Precious Blood of Jesus. I had never heard of it. He made it clear that this Litany is necessary in these days when the devil is so active in the world.

I want to share his concluding words and the Litany with you all today!

On July 1, 2020 at English Mass in Medjugorje, Fr. Leon said this:

“I pray the Litany of the Precious Blood every day for a specific reason. Because the demons are fighting. They are fighting to confuse people. I pray the Litany of the Precious Blood every day and many, many priests and many lay people pray this every day. And I encourage you too. It doesn’t take too long. It is powerful. We need the Precious Blood more and more to protect us and to guard us, because only by the Precious Blood are we saved.”

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
