The spirituality of the Precious Blood is truly at the heart of the Christian life.
- John Paul II
Today there is a greater thirst than ever for a genuine, strong spirituality centered in the Blood of the Cross, present and alive in the Eucharistic mystery,
capable of endowing our lives with their essential dimension: giving of ourselves to the Lord and to others with greater availability.
