July is the Month of the Most Precious Blood

This month, we honor the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, contained within that Heart we celebrated in June. July begins, on the 1st, with the feast of the Precious Blood in the trad calendar, followed on the 2nd, by the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Let us consider how we may offer reparation and adoration to the Blood of Christ, particularly present to us at each Holy Mass.

Pray for the United States of America, to our Patroness the Immaculate Conception, as we celebrate Independence Day this week. Pray for all the unborn babies, still not free or respected in this country.

More commentary on the month of July, to follow.

On this Independence Day, please pray for the United States of America, especially for the restoration of respect for all human life from conception to natural death. Pray the Laws of God will once again be honored and practiced in this once great country. Consider exercising penance today such as prayer, abstinence and fasting. Until we see a restoration in this nation, there is nothing to celebrate. The Covid disaster is proof we no longer have freedom. We are being invaded from without and from within, from all sides and in every possible way. Mourning is the only option….and don’t forget about the “X” Eclipse.

May peace reign in the USA and throughout the world! O Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the United States, pray for us! O God, do not forget the blood of saint isaac jogues and his companions! May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored and glorified from pole to pole!
