Nothing better...

 

Commenting about the Holy Eucharist...  

“Nor can we do anything
more pleasant. 
For what is better than God
manifesting His whole
sweetness to us.”

 St Albert the Great (Albertus Magnus)
Dominican, Doctor of the Church
Teacher and Mentor of St Thomas Aquinas
Patron of scientists and philosophers
Motto:  "To want everything that I want for the glory of God,
to wish and do everything only and always for his glory."   
Germany ~ 1200-1280
Incorruptible
FEAST DAY - November 15


“My soul, if you wish to be intimate with Mary, let yourself be carried between her arms and nourished with her blood… Let this ineffable, chaste thought accompany you to the Banquet of God and you will find in the Blood of the Son the nourishment of the Mother.”  ~ St Albert
 
     It has been said that St. Albert was a scientist by temperament,
a philosopher by deliberate choice and a theologian by mood.

St Albert the Great, ora pro nobis!
