Feast Of The Precious Blood 2020
This feast marks a victory and stands in thanksgiving for it.  Pope Pius IX was exiled from Rome in 1848 by an army of the enemies of the Church.  He promised to honor the Precious Blood of Christ after God would restore him to Rome and that happened on the last days of June in 1849.  So, the pope fulfilled his promise and instituted the feast.  We realize the infinite value of the Blood of God which had been prophesied throughout the Old Testament.  The Holy Ghost taught that without the shedding of Blood there would not be redemption.  Our Lord completed His mission by dying on the Cross and shedding every drop of His Blood.  This Blood continues to save at by every Mass.  We must love and thank God always to live with Him in Heaven eventually.
