Blood? Why be devoted to blood?
The Most Precious Blood of Jesus is the price of our salvation. One drop would have been enough to save us—but He chose to pour out all of it for us on the Cross.
It is our saving lather in Baptism. It is our healing balm in the Sacrament of Confession. It is our vivifying drink in the Holy Eucharist.
Why? What is so important about blood? What is so important about the prophesied Messiah’s blood? What did blood mean to the Jews and what is its significance in Scripture? Why did Jesus choose it as the currency of our salvation and give it to us to drink?
Join Fr. Kirby for this month’s edition of A Year of Devotions to discover the astounding reality of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus.
What Is A Year of Devotions with Fr. Kirby?
Throughout the year, the Church offers us not only her glorious feast days, but entire months of devotion built around those feasts.
By means of these devotions, she nourishes and enriches our faith, pours out special graces upon our souls, and lifts our minds to the contemplation and love of the eternal truths of our Faith.
Here at Good Catholic, we want to bring you the monthly devotions of the Church in all their beauty and splendor. So we partnered with Fr. Jeffrey Kirby—host of our beloved Morning Offering podcast—to bring you a monthly miniseries introducing you to each and every one of these devotions.
How Does A Year of Devotions Work?
Throughout 2024, we’ll be releasing one miniseries a month focused on that month’s devotion. Each miniseries will consist of five 10-15 minute videos from Fr. Kirby.
We won’t be sending you reminder emails as with our other series—you’ll have access to all five videos at once and you can go at your own pace. Watch a video a day, a video a week, or just go ahead and binge watch them all at once!
One thing to note is that you must subscribe to each month individually. We’ll have the current month’s miniseries listed at the top of our Series page and other months listed at the bottom. Check out the full calendar of topics below!

Beautiful!
This series on the Precious Blood is deeply thought out and beautifully presented. Father Kirby is easy to listen to, as well as being wise and able to connect the OT with the NT. Very happy to have joined this study!
