Dear Friend, 

On the Traditional Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, our Shepherd, Cardinal Burke, offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for all the intentions of the Rosary Warriors of Operation Storm Heaven, as well as for those who submitted intentions, at the Shrine Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Local Catholics, some with their families, assisted at the Traditional Latin Mass.

His Eminence began the homily by greeting: 

“In a special way, all those who take part in Operation Storm Heaven, affectionally called Rosary Warriors, those who are offering, every day the prayer of the Holy Rosary for the needs of the Church and the world, in these times, in which there is so much turmoil, so much rebellion before God, so much need of His forgiveness and healing grace, which He gives to us in the Church, from His Most Sacred Heart.”

“I thank especially the Rosary Warriors for the wonderful Spiritual Bouquet which was presented to me on my 50th anniversary. Deeply grateful to you for your prayers. I urge you to continue to pray for me.”

Meditation on the Month of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus and the July 1 Feast Day of His Most Precious Blood.

“We know Our Lord bled profusely throughout His Passion. The terrible scourging at the Pillar, the crowning of thorns. But the ultimate sign of the outpouring of this entire being for us was after He had died on the Cross, He committed His side to be pierced, His heart to be pierced by the spear of a Roman soldier. And St. John is careful to report, there poured forth an abundance of water and blood. This he wanted us to have as a perpetual sign that He would be always alive for us.”

“The blood of Jesus, of course, is a very powerful sign, is His heart itself, in which the blood flows. We speak of His blood as the price of our redemption. The outpouring of His life is what was necessary for us to be restored to life, to be restored to communion with God, already on this earth. And the perfection of that communion of death and its consummation on the last day.”

“Let us in a special way pray during this month that the sanctifying grace represented by the blood of Jesus will cleanse our souls of all sin, purify our souls and at the same time, it will fill our souls with that sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit by which we love God with a whole mind and heart, whole being.”
