St Catherine of Siena, pray for us!

Quench thy thirst...

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. -I Peter 1:18-19


Albrecht Durer ~ The Crucifixion

"He opened up for us

in His most sacred wounds
four founts:  

a fount of mercy, a fount of peace,

a fount of devotion, a fount of love

and summons all to quench their thirst there."

St Bernard of Clairvaux  

The Anima Christi The Anima Christi dates back to the 14th century. It is a prayer inviting us to ask our Lord for comfort, strength and guidance in our pursuit of holiness. It remains widely used after receiving the precious Body and Blood of Our Lord in Holy Communion.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me  Body of Christ, save me  Blood of Christ, inebriate me  Water from Christ's side, wash me Passion of Christ, strengthen me O good Jesus, hear me Within Thy wounds hide me Suffer me not to be separated from Thee From the malicious enemy defend me In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee That I may praise Thee with Thy saints  and with Thy angels Forever and ever Amen

Fed and enlightened...

 "My mission in heaven will be to draw souls, helping them to go out of

themselves to cling to God, with a spontaneous, love-filled action,

and to keep them in that great interior silence

which enables God to make His mark on them,

to transform them to Himself." - St Elizabeth of the Trinity

 

 

"To contemplate Christ

involves being able to recognize Him

whenever He manifests Himself,

in His many forms of presence,

but above all in the living sacrament

of His body and His blood.

The Church draws her life from Christ in the Eucharist;

by Him she is fed and by Him she is enlightened.

The Eucharist is both a mystery of faith

and a 'mystery of light.'"

 

Pope St John Paul II

Let us increase our knowledge and love of

the Most Precious Blood of Jesus ...

"It is in this Blood that He has laid up His blessings for us,

as in a storehouse.  This is true, not only of spiritual blessings,

but of all blessings whatsoever." - Fr Frederick Faber in The Precious Blood
