 the Holy Eucharist. It's the biblical basis for our devotion to the precious blood of Jesus, which we traditionally celebrate here in the month of July. Christ's precious blood was poured out for all of us on the cross, shed for many for the remission of sins. When we venerate Christ's precious blood, we are worshiping the one true God who so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have life.
