Reading: The Precious Blood of Jesus, how much we owe It! There is simply nothing lovable and good but we have it because of the Precious Blood. It is through the Precious Blood that God speaks to us, blesses us, and promises us everlasting joys. Spiritual and temporal favors (come) to us because of It. (MCM, p. 201)
