With the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb

“If you invoke as Father him who judges impartially according to each one’s works, conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning, realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb.” (1 P 1: 17-19) 

Our Lord didn’t come to condemn us, His children, but He came to redeem us and to restore our dignity. We were ransomed “not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb.” We celebrate this moment with every Eucharist, and we can receive this gift with deeper devotion and love again and again because He loves us forever.

“Lord Jesus, open the Scriptures to us; make our hearts burn while you speak to us.” (Gospel Acclamation)
