Jesus obtained heaven for us with His own Blood

The Divine Saviour obtained heaven for us with His own Blood. He did not need to purchase heaven for Himself but He sacrificed His life and His Blood for our sake to open the path for us to eternal happiness in heaven. He left all His rights and claims to us, His least brethren. In view of the merits of Jesus Christ, His passion and death, I may say: Heaven belongs to me. St Bernard used this logic to silence the devil. When on his death-bed the saint was joyfully awaiting heaven, the evil spirit came to him and said: “How can you hope that God will receive you into heaven if you know how poor your works were?!” But the saint replied: “I knew long ago that I could not build on my poor deeds, but my Saviour obtained heaven for me through His sufferings and Blood, and He will impart His merits to me. I hope therefore that I will be allowed to enter heaven.” And the devil left ashamed.
