The Masterpiece!

Title: The Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist
is like a consuming fire, 2003 ~~~ Artist: Elizabeth Wang


"We must continually remind ourselves that the greatest need in the world today is to centre our lives more and more in the oblational aspect of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; for today, when the whole world is galloping away from the very shadow of the Cross, we must embrace it and cling to it ever more firmly, in union with Jesus Christ.... We should never come to Holy Mass without preparation, and it is for this reason that, in Religious Houses, the Community Mass is celebrated after the Spiritual Exercises of the morning.  Of all the works of the Sacred Heart here below, Holy Mass together with Holy Communion is the Masterpiece." 

Excerpt from The Living Pyx of Jesus by 'A Religious,'
Pelligrini, 1941, p. 443
