July: Month of the Most Precious Blood
July 1st: Feast of the Most Precious Blood
7pm Sung Mass
Reminder that July is the Month of the Most Precious Blood. The Litany of the Most Precious Blood was promulgated by Blessed John XXIII on February 24th, 1960. The devotion to Jesus in His Most Precious Blood was first popularised by Saint Gaspar del Bufalo (1786-1837, Feast Dec. 28) who founded the Missioners of the Most Precious Blood. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite this litany.
The Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
On November 9, 1921, Pope Benedict XV instituted the Feast of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus to be celebrated on the Thursday within the Octave of the Sacred Heart with a Proper Mass and Office. He wrote that “…the chief reason of this feast is to commemorate the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the mystery of the Eucharist. By this means the Church wishes more and more to excite the faithful to approach this sacred mystery with confidence, and to inflame their hearts with that divine charity which consumed the Sacred Heart of Jesus when in His infinite love He instituted the Most Holy Eucharist, wherein the Divine Heart guards and loves them by living with them, as they live and abide in Him. For in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist He offers and gives Himself to us as victim, companion, nourishment, viaticum, and pledge of our future glory…”
External Solemnity of St Peter and St Paul
The External Solemnity of St Peter and St Paul will be celebrated 30th June Sunday for both Masses.
