Eucharist, Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Quote Topic, Spiritual (life), Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
‘And the Word became flesh‘. That truth became a reality in the manger at Bethlehem. But it was to be fulfilled in yet another form: ‘Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood, has eternal life.’ The Savior, who knows that we are human beings and will remain human beings who have to struggle daily with weaknesses, comes to our assistance in a truly divine manner. Just as the human body is in need of daily bread, so also does the divine life in us require constant nourishment.
–Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
