Solemnity of the Most Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ

"How much more shall the Blood of Christ, Who by the Holy Ghost offered Himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?" (Hebrews 9.14)

 "Cleanse...," in the present form; St. Paul explains that it is by "remission [of sins]" (Heb. 9.22) but through its "shedding" (ibid.) - "show the death of the Lord until He comes" (I Corinthians 11.26), now, Sacramentally: Christ fulfilling His eternal [priesthood] "according to the Order of Melchisedech" (Heb. 5.6) offering Consecrated Bread ("My Body") and Wine ("My Blood").

 Refutes...

 1) 'Bible-only'-ists #BornAgain - they are not saved for after having 'believed' they still sin yet they refuse, as Luther did, the truth of the Sacramental Propitiatory Sacrifice of the Lord (our true Catholic Mass on our uncompromised #CatholicResistance altars - as we have received it from the Apostolic altar: "We have an altar," Heb. 13.10); why, logically, many of them, esp. young ones, despairing, embraced 'atheism'.

 2) Modernist 'liberal Catholics' - they feed, if they still do, on illicit/illegitimate - non-grace giving (St. Thomas on 'de Sacramentis' in his "Summa...") Lutheran/Masonic 'table' for instead of "[serving] the Living God" in martyrdom, strengthened by the "Bread of Angels," it is [g]od (all-"mercy and compassion," the "NEW 'Catholic' THEOlogy" offered with a "New" 'Mass') adjusting to them in their complicated circumstances.
