The Blood of Christ

Any drop of the Blood of Christ, without his death, would have paid the price of our salvation. Hence, the price of mankind’s redemption was not only infinite in value, but also of an infinite nature, since Christ redeemed us from death through His death. St. Thomas Aquinas

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
