The Seven Offerings of the Precious Blood.

Today, October 21, we celebrate the feast day of Saint Gaspar del Bufalo (1786-1837), apostle of the devotion to the Precious Blood, and founder of the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Precious Blood.


Saint Gaspar said: “Prayer and confidence in God's goodness must be the anchor of our salvation, and the Lord's peace must abound in our souls.”

Together, on this day of his feast, we offer to Our Lord, the Seven Offerings of the Precious Blood.
