There are many ways in which God shows us the beauty of His creations - In the sky-Beautiful clouds, brilliant sunsets, many-hued rainbows, bright moon and twinkling stars; On the Earth -Beautiful Mountains, deep valleys, broad rivers, verdant trees, many-coloured flowers; And under the earth, beautiful, sparkling and valuable gemstones. Tradition has it that certain gemstones have become associated with certain months of the year. This months gemstone is Ruby. This outstanding gemstone picture of an Australian Ruby has been provided by Cluff Resources Pacific NL of Unit 1, 30 Leighton Place, Hornsby Sydney, Australia and we thank them for their generosity.
Also it appears that popular devotion has assigned to certain months a particular meaning or devotion. These months' dedications may not be universally accepted, and it is not compulsory to do anything special in honouring them, such as saying certain prayers or attending special Masses. According to what research I have been able to do, it appears that this month is dedicated to The Precious Blood of Jesus.
