Same Body broken, same Blood flowing...

   “Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, 
and the Eucharist in turn 
confirms our way of thinking.” – St Irenaeus

"The Mass is that which makes the cross visible to every eye
it placards the Cross at all the crossroads of civilization; 
it brings Calvary so close that even tired feet can make 
the journey to its sweet embrace; every hand may now 
reach out to touch its Sacred Burden, every ear may hear 
its sweet appeal, for the Mass and the Cross are the same.

In both there is the same offering of perfectly surrendered will of the beloved Son, same Body broken, the same 
Blood flowed forth, the same Divine Forgiveness.
All that has been said and done and acted during 
Holy Mass is to be taken away with us, lived, practiced, and woven into all the 
circumstances and conditions of our daily lives."
