MONTH OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD

July is the Month of the Precious Blood

Below are a series of postings I shared in July 2007 as well as a couple from more recent years.  The series in July 2007 was inspired by a beautiful Precious Blood & Mother Manual I had been given years ago that had come from the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood in NYC.  They still sell a similar Precious Blood Manual with many of the prayers and devotions I have shared here.
