Bread of Life…

Discipleship, Eucharist, Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

In each of our lives Jesus comes as the Bread of Life – to be eaten, to be consumed by us. This is how He loves us. Then Jesus comes in our human life as the hungry one, the other, hoping to be fed with the Bread of our life, our hearts by loving, and our hands by serving. In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Be all things to all people with a single desire at heart, to give them Jesus.
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)

Discipleship, Evangelization, Page: Quotes, Quote Topic

Every Christian must be an apostle, this is not a counsel, it is a commandment. My apostolate must be an apostolate of goodness. On seeing me people should say to themselves, since this man is so good, his religion must be good. And if I am asked why I am so gentle and good I must reply, because I am the servant of the One whose goodness is still greater. If only you knew how good my Master Jesus is!
–Blessed Charles De Foucauld (1858-1916)
