Month "consecrated to My precious blood""

 COMMENT: 

Blood of Christ, Eucharistic drink and refreshment of souls, save us.

   "All this month is consecrated to My precious blood, and you think so little about it..."

HE AND i by Gabrielle Bossis 1969

Diary 1946

July - 11 -  Holy hour.

 "All this month is consecrated to My precious blood, and you think so little about it... And yet, there is fruit for your picking. The season of flowers is over. Now we are in the more solemn time of the harvest for the eternal garnering.

Don't be surprised at having to suffer for Me or at being tested and tried for My sake. These are records to be filled out for eternity. You take your place in the sacrifice for which the crown is prepared. You play your part in the unfinished symphony of My passion.

         

Love these last sufferings. They are part of your travel wardrobe. The most ordinary sufferings  -  heat, insects, unforeseen mishaps, petty annoyances that you offer Me in expiation  -  are part of the harvest of the autumn of your life in this ever - marvellous springtime of love. Aren't the seasons simultaneous in the bride - soul where the light of love never goes out? This little light illuminates everything in her, but she is so simple that she is not even aware of it.

 

As for Me, I see. You feel far from Me; you're afraid that you have left Me, and there I am in your centre.

Just keep your will for Me; that's enough. Your will in Mine  -  that's everything  -  for My joy and yours. I want you to be completely joyous. You will be when you have emptied yourself of self. Then you will no longer feel the gravity of life, but the gentle and buoyant breath of uplifting joy.  Do you believe what I'm telling you? Live in the home of the beloved ones."

Prayer of the Month

Prayer from the Roman Missal

Almighty, and everlasting God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the Redeemer of the world, and hast been pleased to be reconciled unto us by His Blood, grant us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate with solemn worship the price of our salvation, that the power thereof may here on earth keep us from all things hurtful, and the fruit of the same may gladden us for ever hereafter in heaven. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
