Survival of our spiritual development is dependent upon our frequenting the sacraments and receiving the Blood of Christ. Our Lord’s blood poured out on the Cross purchased our salvation, washed clean the robes of the martyrs, and gave birth to the Church, as it flowered from hsi wounded side. The Precious Blood of Christ – now pulsating through his Mystical Body – continues its salvific work, preserving and purifying, repairing and providing nourishment for regeneration and renewal of its members. “Thee dost flow to wash the earth. Let me gather Thee up Divine Blood, especially these first drops. I want to keep Thee in the chalice of my heart.” ~ St. Padre Pio.
