Love, Love (others), Page: Quotes, Quote Topic
The Lord wants us to love one another. Here is freedom: in love for God and neighbor. In this freedom, there is equality. In earthly orders, there may not be equality, but this is not important for the soul. Not everyone can be a king, not everyone a patriarch or a boss. But in any position it is possible to love God and to please Him, and only this is important. And whoever loves God more on earth will be in greater glory in His Kingdom.
–Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)

Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Savior listens to me night and day.

Eucharistic Adoration, Page: Quotes, Prayer (how), Quote Author, Quote Topic, Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897)
Kneeling before the tabernacle, I can think of only one thing to say to our Lord: ‘My God, you know that I love You.’ And I feel that my prayer does not weary Jesus; knowing my weakness, He is satisfied with my good will.
–Saint Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897
Eucharist, Page: Quotes, Spiritual (life)
The only cure for sagging or fainting faith is Communion. Though always Itself, perfect and complete and inviolate, the Blessed Sacrament does not operate completely and once for all in any of us. Like the act of Faith it must be continuous and grow by exercise. Frequency is of the highest effect. Seven times a week is more nourishing than seven times at intervals.
–JRR Tolkien (1892-1973)
Eucharist, Fulton Sheen (1895-1979), Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Spiritual (life)
As a man must be born before he can begin to lead his physical life, so he must be born to lead a Divine Life. That birth occurs in the Sacrament of Baptism. To survive, he must be nourished by Divine Life; that is done in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
