**************************
If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively
what takes place in this Sacrament,
I am sure that the thought of Christ’s love for us
would transform the coldness of our hearts
into a fire of love and gratitude.
St. Angela of Foligno
**************************
“When the bee has gathered the dew of heaven and the earth’s sweetest
nectar from the flowers, it turns it into honey, then hastens to its hive.
In the same way, the priest, having taken from the altar the
Son of God (who is as the dew from heaven, and true son
of Mary, flower of our humanity), gives him to
you as delicious food.”
St. Francis de Sales
**************************
“I hunger for the bread of God, the flesh of Jesus Christ …
I long to drink of his blood, the gift of unending love.”
St. Ignatius of Antioch
**************************
“Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life.
Night and day, He is there.
If you really want to grow in love,
come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration.”
Mother Teresa
**************************
“The bread that you see on the altar is the Body of Christ
as soon as it is sanctified by God’s word.
The chalice, or better what is contained
in the chalice, is the Blood of Christ
as soon as it is sanctified by God’s word”
St. Augustine
**************************
“The King of Love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
and He is mine forever.”
