Saved by the Precious Blood of Jesus

Last Sunday's homily (October 14, the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time). Sorry for the delay.

The gates of Heaven were opened by the infinite love of Jesus Christ, who poured forth His Blood "for us men and for our salvation". He is our Saviour and not we ourselves. He puts us in the "state of salvation", as St. Thomas Aquinas calls it, the state of grace, through the waters of Baptism. Once established as "children of God through faith" we must preserve this salvation and not throw it away through serious sin. Therefore, we must keep the commandments, in serious matters, in order to be saved, but we do not save ourselves. We do cooperate in the work of our salvation.

Here is a recording of it.
