Instituted this Sacrament…
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)
God is in love with us…
God is in love with us and keeps using you and me to light the light of love in the world. Let His light of truth be in your life so that God can continue loving the world through you and me. Put your heart into being a bright light.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Look upon Jesus…
Each time we look upon Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, He raises us up into deeper union with Himself, opens up the floodgates of His merciful love to the whole world, and brings us closer to the day of His final victory ‘where every knee will bend and proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord.’ The reign of God is already in your midst. The coming of Jesus to us in the Eucharist is assurance of His promise of final victory: “Behold, I come to make all things new.”
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Our duty as Christians…
Our principle duty as Christians is to prepare others to live holy lives in today’s unholy world.
–John Hardon (1914-2000)
Adore the Sacrament…
United with the angels and saints of the heavenly Church, let us adore the most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. Prostrate, we adore this great mystery that contains God’s new and definitive covenant with humankind in Christ.
–Saint John Paul (1920-2005)
The road of sanctity…
The road of sanctity is not a road of honors, but rather a road of misunderstandings and humiliations. When you encounter difficulties, don’t discourage yourself too quickly. Run without delay to the tabernacle to sigh with Jesus, telling him: ‘Jesus, I have only the thought of abandoning you. Deign to change my will. I’m very sad, and all I can do is ask you to accept my sadness. I can’t find peace… I can’t stop myself from crying… accept my tears with gentleness.’
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)
