Pope St.Clement I (c.96 A.D.): "Let us fix our gaze on the
Blood of Christ and realize how truly precious It is, seeing that it was poured
out for our salvation and brought the grace of conversion to the whole
world."
To
understand the meaning of the Precious Blood we must get some comprehension of
the gravity of sin, of the awfulness of offending God, because it required the
Blood of the Son of God to forgive that sin. We are living in an age in which
to sin has become fashionable.
This
veneration of the Precious Blood, which is the first element in our devotion to
the Precious Blood means that we have a deep sensitivity to the awfulness of
sin. Sin must be terrible. It must be awful. It must be the most dreadful thing
in the universe. Why? Because it cost the living God in human form the shedding
of His Blood. ~ Fr. John Hardon, SJ
