Quote/s of the Day – 18 January – “Speaking of the Holy Eucharist/Holy Mass“
“Let us return from that Table,
like lions breathing out fire,
terrifying to the devil!”
St John Chrysostom (347-407) Father & Doctor of the Church
“O Sacrament of Love!
O sign of Unity!
O bond of Charity!
He who would have Life finds here indeed
a Life to live in and a Life to live by.”
St Augustine (354-430) Father & Doctor of the Church
“What does the poor man do
at the rich man’s door,
the sick man in the presence of his physician,
the thirsty man at a limpid stream?
What they do, I do before the Eucharistic God.
I pray. I adore. I love.”
St Francis of Assisi
“Put all the good works in the world
against one Holy Mass;
they will be as a grain of sand
beside a mountain.”
St John Marie Baptiste Vianney (1786-1859)
“When you look at the crucifix,
you understand how much Jesus loved you then.
When you look at the Sacred Host,
you understand how much Jesus loves you now.”
“Unless we believe and see Jesus
in the appearance of bread on the altar,
we will not be able to see Him
in the distressing disguise of the poor.”
AnaStpaul
