That person does not have Christ who only has Him on his tongue. Neither does that person have Christ who has Him only on paper. Neither does that person have Christ who has Him only on the wall. Neither does that person have Christ that has Him in the museum of the past. That person, in truth, has Christ who has Him in his heart. For Christ is Love and the throne of love is the heart.
–Saint Nicholas Velimirovic (1880-1956)
The heart apparently is a narrow organ, but God can dwell in it. When God dwells in it, then it is filled and overly filled and nothing else can position itself in it. If, however, the whole world were to settle in it, it remains empty without God.
–Saint Nicholas Velimirovic (1880-1956)
The longer you stay away from Communion, the more your soul will be weak, and in the end you will become dangerously indifferent.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Be eager to go to Mass on weekdays also, even if it costs a sacrifice. Our Lord will reward you with His Blessings and make you succeed in your undertakings.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Just as the manna was the daily nourishment of the Hebrews in the desert, so Holy Communion should be our support and our daily nourishment.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Jesus Christ instituted this Sacrament to give us a sign of the great love He has for us and to give us adequate nourishment for our souls.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
