"The school of Christ is the school of
charity.
On the last day, when the general examination takes place,
there will be no question at all on the text of Aristotle,
the aphorisms of Hippocrates, or the paragraphs of Justinian.
Charity will be the whole syllabus." - St Robert Bellarmine

"The Holy Eucharist is offered to us on our pilgrimage as food so that we do
not faint
on the path to the
fatherland,
especially at the time when, tired by a long
journey,
our forces are apt to wane…
The Lord left His Body in the
Eucharist
as a pledge of heavenly
beatitude."

Convivum”
