Potentiality of His Precious Blood

About this sermon

St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that the blood in a body is potentially the whole (has the possibility of becoming each part). If blood is cut off from any member, it dies. If any part of a body is to be healed, it must have blood flowing to it. Likewise, the Precious Blood flowing from the side of Christ upon the Cross becomes the life of the whole Mystical Body, the Church, the Bride of Christ. Christ’s Blood has the power to redeem, to restore and re-create. This is why we sometimes say things like: just one drop of the Precious Blood of Christ is enough to save the Universe... because the blood is potentially the whole. But it will only do this according to what is contained within it. The blueprint or code of the Universe is within it… and it will only build and repair accordingly. Anything else comes from some other blood(s) (sanguinibus) flowing not from God but from the will of the flesh and the will of man.
