@MikeEklund8@riecker "Protestant church?" Now, that's funny.
Plus, both Protestantism and Satan despise the church that Jesus Christ founded.
Pick a side. Do you want to team up with Jesus? Or Satan?
I visited my patron saint, here is the tombe of Padre Pio and I was touched and I said to myself
"why can't we all repent, love each other, and make heaven together" Just like Padre Pio?
"Those who are specially devoted to Mary will be instrumental in defeating the Antichrist."

βJesus is always with you, even when you don't feel his presence. He is never so close to you as he is during your spiritual battles.β
- Saint Padre Pio
β’ St. Padre Pio says:
"Be cheerful, Jesus will take care of everything.
Let us pay no attention to people who do not know what they are saying.
Let us trust in Jesus and our heavenly Mother and everything will work out well."
Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ in atonement for my sins, and in supplication for the holy souls in Purgatory and for the needs of Holy Church.β
Amen
The Church dedicates the month of July to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, a devotion that invites the faithful to reflect on the profound mystery of Christβs sacrifice. This devotion centers on the Blood Jesus shed during His Passion and Crucifixion, revered as the price of humanityβs redemption.
The shedding of the Precious Blood is a manifestation of Godβs boundless love, the forgiveness of sins, and the life-giving grace offered through the Holy Eucharist. For Catholics, July becomes a time to deepen their spiritual connection to this sacred mystery through prayer, penance, and adoration.
The origins of this devotion trace back to early Christianity, with a significant revival in the 19th century when Pope Pius IX extended the Feast of the Precious Blood to the universal Church in 1849, initially celebrated on the first Sunday of July. Although the modern liturgical calendar after Vatican II integrated elements of this feast into Corpus Christi or suppressed it in some places, the month-long dedication persists in popular piety. The devotion underscores the belief that Christβs Blood, shed on the cross, objectively cleanses humanity of sin and restores communion with God.
The devotion to the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ in July, however, is more than a tradition; it is a call to live in gratitude for Christβs sacrifice. By meditating on the Blood poured out for humanity, Catholics are inspired to offer their own lives in reparation for sin, and the pursuit of holiness. This month-long focus strengthens faith, drawing believers closer to the heart of the Gospelβthe selfless, sacrificing love of Jesus Christ, Whose Blood continues to bring life to the world.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, comes through for us whenever we call on Her...even on our deathbeds.
Through Her intercession, souls in purgatory are set free.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
