"The Word is everything to a child: both Father and Mother,
both Instructor and Nurse. "Eat My Flesh," He says, "and drink My Blood."
The Lord supplies us with these intimate nutrients. He delivers over His Flesh,
and pours out His Blood; and nothing is lacking for the growth
of His children. O incredible mystery!" - St Clement of Alexandria
"When you are totally consumed by the Eucharistic fire,
then you will be able more consciously to thank God,
who has called you to become part of His family.
Then you will enjoy the peace that those
who are happy in this world have never experienced,
because true happiness, oh young people, does not consist
in the pleasures of this world, or in earthly things,
but in peace of conscience, which
we only have if we are pure of heart and mind."
Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati
