this Blood to all the Saints, to all the Angels, that they may

receive greater glory, burst into thanksgivings to Jesus,
and pray for us, that we may reach them, by virtue of this

Blood. And after having given this Blood to all, let us go to
Jesus again. Angels, Saints, come with us. Ah, He sighs

for souls; He wants to let them all enter His Humanity, to
give to all the fruits of His Blood. Let us place them

around Him, and He will feel restored to life, and repaid for
the most bitter agony He has suffered. And now, Holy

Mama, let us call all the elements to keep Him company,
that they too may give honor to Jesus.

is really so old? Is it new because he has divested us of our old

humanity and clothed us with the new? It is true that love
