“I must never allow the world to evangelize me, so that I forget God’s power and wisdom and look to worldly power and wisdom. Jesus gives us the Church, our guiding light on the journey…whose mission it s to urge us continually on the journey to God."

Feast of St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811 – 1868)
“We must keep in mind that the Holy Eucharist, is Jesus Christ past, present, and future; that the Eucharist is the last development of the Incarnation and mortal life of our Savior, that in the Eucharist Jesus Christ gives us every grace; that all truths tend to and end in the Eucharist; and that there is nothing more to be added when we have said, ‘The Eucharist,’ since it is Jesus Christ.”
-St. Peter Julian Eymard

"...the Eucharist is a mode of being, which passes from Jesus into each Christian, through whose testimony it is meant to spread throughout society and culture. For this to happen, each member of the faithful must assimilate, through personal and communal meditation, the values which the Eucharist expresses, the attitudes it inspires, the resolutions to which it gives rise."
-St. John Paul II
July 24
"Through the gift of the Holy Eucharist, Jesus makes available to us His own Most Sacred Heart, the very heart that was pierced with a sword upon Calvary's hill. He gives His Heart so that our own hearts may be purified and cleansed, strengthened and made new, healed and set free.
