The Church dedicates July to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. May His Blood cover you!
"The world can still set itself right and always will be able to, because the voice and Blood of Christ cry out for pity and mercy...
Devotion to the Precious Blood is the devotion of our time...
It is devotion for all souls, for the whole world." Pope St. John XXIII
