The Presence of
Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist is like a Consuming Fire (2003) Elizabeth

"To cast fire upon the earth—
that is my mission!
that is my mission!
And how I
wish it were already blazing fiercely!
Nothing in the world can set hearts ablaze with
love
for God like the Blessed
Sacrament.
That is
why this Divine Bread
has been
pictured as a furnace of love."

"I love Jesus Christ and that is why I am
on fire
with the desire to give Him souls, first
of all my own, and then
an incalculable number of others." ~ St
Alphonsus Ligouri
Someone once remarked, after a
sermon by Alphonsus,"It is a pleasure
to listen to your sermons; you forget yourself and preach Jesus Christ."
