Blood of Christ, Eucharistic drink and refreshment of souls, save us.

HE AND i by Gabrielle Bossis 1969
Diary 1946
July - 11 - Holy hour.
"All this month is consecrated to My precious blood, and
you think so little about it... And yet, there is fruit for your picking.
The season of flowers is over. Now we are in the more solemn
time of the harvest for the eternal garnering.
Don't be surprised at having to suffer for Me or at being
tested and tried for My sake. These are records to be filled out for
eternity. You take your place in the sacrifice for which the crown
is prepared. You play your part in the unfinished symphony of My
passion.
Love these last sufferings. They are part of your travel wardrobe. The
most ordinary sufferings - heat, insects, unforeseen mishaps, petty
annoyances that you offer Me in expiation - are part of the harvest of
the autumn of your life in this ever - marvellous springtime of
love. Aren't the seasons simultaneous in the bride - soul where the light
of love never goes out? This little light illuminates everything in her, but
she is so simple that she is not even aware of it.
As for Me, I see. You feel far from Me; you're afraid that you have left Me, and there I am in your centre.
Just keep your will for Me; that's enough. Your will in Mine - that's everything - for
My joy and yours. I want you to be completely joyous. You will be when you
have emptied yourself of self. Then you will no longer feel the gravity of
life, but the gentle and buoyant breath of uplifting joy. Do you believe what I'm telling you? Live in
the home of the beloved ones."
Prayer of the Month
Prayer from the Roman Missal
Almighty, and everlasting God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the Redeemer of the world, and hast been pleased to be reconciled unto us by His Blood, grant us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate with solemn worship the price of our salvation, that the power thereof may here on earth keep us from all things hurtful, and the fruit of the same may gladden us for ever hereafter in heaven. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
