Living Liturgically

Devotion to the Most Precious Blood by the saints and the faithful dates back to the beginnings of the Church. We read in Sacred Scripture many verses that honor the blood of Christ as the source of our salvation. Saint Peter writes, You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)  The Church, therefore, encourages all the faithful to honor and recognize with particular attention during the month of July the blood of Jesus shed for us during His passion and crucifixion. Being reminded of the tremendous sacrifice of Our loving Savior in the Masses and prayers of this month, we are moved to express deep gratitude to God for the saving power of His blood and the gift of salvation it has merited.”  Use this prayer calendar to offer a 1 sentence prayer and 1 thought to help you live it.

Take advantage of quiet conversing with our Eucharistic Lord in Adoration.  Here’s how. 

The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage asks us to join in restoring our Identity as “One Nation Under God” by entrusting our hearts and our nation to Him. Specifically, we are asked to commit to praying holy hours for America. In adoration, we ask Him to do the work that only He can do.  “We believe that to be one nation under God, we have to humbly place ourselves under his sovereignty. We have to take a posture of real dependence, recognizing that he is God and we are not.”

2026 is the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi’s death.  To commemorate it, Pope Leo XIV has named this as a Franciscan Jubilee Year.  Pope Leo invites us to reflect on the life and enduring legacy of St. Francis, whose profound commitment to the gospel, love for the poor and reverence for all of creation have earned him this honor.  View the videos found on this page.  And this page, where you will also find daily marriage tips.
