“Jesus has given us
His Blood even to the last drop.
What is there left to
do? Jesus is a victim. Behold I am ready,
O my God, to be a
victim of love!” – St Gaspar del Bufalo
“In every era the Lord has inspired certain devotions
to stem the tide of iniquity. We also see that in times past the Church
was attacked in this or that doctrine.
Today the war is being waged against religion
as such and against Christ Crucified. We
need, therefore, to reemphasize the glories of the Cross and of our Crucified
Redeemer, to reopen the fountains of mercy just when the devil would make us the
victim of wrath.
Now, more than ever, it is opportune to tell people at
what price our souls were redeemed. We must let it be known how the Blood of
Christ cleanses the souls and sanctifies them, particularly by means of the
sacraments.
We must arouse them from their insensibility by
reminding them that His Blood is offered up every morning upon the altars and
that instead of blasphemy and insult, we should give it adoration and
praise.”
St Gaspar del Bufalo
