JULY – A MONTH OF PRECIOUS BLOOD: The veneration of the Precious Blood teaches us to honor the blood sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us honor the fact that He loved us so much – to the point of shedding his blood and sacrificing His life for us. We are able to truly appreciate this great love only when we accept the offer of Jesus’ friendship by living authentic, prayerful Christian lives. Let the month of July be a good occasion to place the Blood of Jesus at the center of our veneration. The Litany to the Precious Blood of Jesus is a very appropriate prayer for this purpose.
THE HISTORY OF THE CULT OF THE HOLY BLOOD: Tradition has it that at Calvary, a portion of the Precious Blood flowing from the side of Christ was collected and devoutly guarded. During the reign of Charlemagne, the precious stone vessel in which the Precious Blood was kept was brought to the West from Jerusalem.
PRAYER IN THE POWER OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD: O God, may the True Blood, the Blood of the Lamb, spotless and undefiled, the precious Blood of your only begotten, Jesus Christ, be our protection. He has brought peace through His Blood shed on the cross: His Blood, the Blood of the new and everlasting covenant, which cleanses us from all sin, may wash us, sanctify us, and save us. Amen.
A UNIQUE PROGRAM TO STRENGTHEN AND HEAL YOUR MARRIAGE – SEPTEMBER 22-24, 2023: The Retrouvaille program is designed to help married couples develop improved ways of communicating and relating to each other in order to overcome challenges which have left them feeling frustrated, hurt, distant, or even hopeless. Retrouvaille, which means rediscovery, is supported by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, but is open to couples of all faiths. This program consists of a weekend experience and six follow up sessions.

AUGUST SPECIAL ELECTION: Issue 1 asks voters if Ohio should “Require that any proposed amendment to the Constitution of the State of Ohio receive the approval of at least 60 percent of eligible voters on the proposed amendment.” Passing Issue 1 directly affects the issue of abortion in Ohio. Namely, the abortion lobby, with the current easy threshold of 50.01%, is presently attempting to enshrine abortion up until birth with zero restrictions in Ohio’s constitution this November. Thus passing the Issue 1 (voting YES on August 8, 2023) will help protect the most fundamental right of all – the right to life. Please, ensure you are registered to vote and verify your voting information before July 10, 2023 by going to VoteOhio.gov.
