I just did a bit of digging on your behalf regarding this line, and there seems to be no concrete definition of it from any official source.
That said, I found several interpretations along the way, including:
1) "You cannot wash away your sins.";
2) The blood is worn as a badge of merit on the blade;
3) The blood remains on the blade and not on your hands (meaning you are relatively guilt-free).
Personally, considering the overtly religious themes within the film, I would side with option 1, especially since Priest Vallon is saying the line.
