ADORE THE PRECIOUS BLOOD
Many believers think that because Christ has risen, we don't need to follow the way of the cross anymore. This is not true because Christ said it clearly "if anyone wants to be with me, let him deny himself, carry his cross and follow Me" matt.16:24
Now, how can you carry this cross lovingly if you don't recognize the price of our redemption, the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ? How come you reject the Cross but accept only Christ? Impossible! How would you be able to walk through the narrow ways of the cross without learning from the one who set the standard?.... And how can you learn from Christ without feeling what he felt? Surely, you must prove your loyalty through following the path Christ followed. He said "My yoke is easy and my burden light" Matth.11:30.
And that is why Christ didn't water down his teaching on the Bread of Life, the Holy Eucharist even when many of his disciples turned away and left. Jesus didn't panic neither did he call them back because He only wanted those who love Him to listen to Him and follow Him, instead He asked the 12 apostles "and you, aren't you going to leave with them?" John 6:67..
Let us develop great devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. We will conquer the flesh, the world and the devil through this devotion. However, you must remain pure in order to be transformed. It is a mockery to the Lord trying to adore Him with an unrepentant heart full of impurity, jealousy, anger, hatred, unforgiveness, sloth, stubbornness and all forms of immorality.
You will cry sorrowfully when you meditate deeply on the passions of Christ for our sake.
To have devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ is to recognize the value of that which was paid for our salvation. It is the loving reverence to the Precious Blood of our Lord.
You can't merely say "I am sorry Lord for your passion and love for me" without embedding your self in his passion through Adoration and Consolation.
Take your time adore and console Jesus in your homes and in the blessed sacrament.
May you answer this call through Christ our Lord 🙏
