The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a goodly heritage.
... in thy presence there is fullness of joy... - Psalm 16: 6,11b
"The devotion to the Eucharist
is the most noble
because it has God as its object;
it is the most profitable for salvation,
because it gives us the Author of Grace;
it is the sweetest,
because the Lord is Sweetness Itself."
St Pius X
