Catholic Church

Our reflections in this conference will be three. First, to see the context which the Church over the centuries has used as the foundation for her devotion to the Precious Blood of Christ. Then, the understanding that Father Gerald had of the role of the Precious Blood in the life and sanctification of priests. And finally, what the Precious Blood should be in our own lives, and what devotion to the Blood of Christ ought to be in everyone who claims to be a true follower of the Lamb of God.
