Recipes for July ~ Month dedicated to the Most Precious Blood


The month of July is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood. (The Feast of the Most Precious Blood, established by Pope Pius IX in 1849, was originally celebrated each year on the first Sunday of July. Later, Pope Pius X assigned July 1 as the fixed date of this celebration.) The early Fathers say that the Church was born from the pierced side of Christ, and that the sacraments were brought forth through His Blood.
