Source of LIGHT and LOVE for all

 

“The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul

in light and love.

Then the soul appreciates these words,

‘Come all you who are sick,

I will restore your health.'" 

 

St Bernadette

Said of St Bernadette by a fellow Sister, Sr Dalias:

"The Holy Eucharist was the breath of her soul."

 

 A tiny tot of four inquired of St Bernadette,

"You have seen the Blessed Virgin, Sister. Was she beautiful?"

"So beautiful," she replied, "that once you have seen her,

you would willingly die to see her again."

 

St Bernadette, ora pro nobis!

 

 

Happy and Holy 85th Birthday,

dearest Pope Benedict!

"A lesser attention paid at times to the worship of the Most Blessed Sacrament is the sign and cause of the obfuscation of the Christian meaning of the mystery, as happens when in the Holy Mass Jesus is no longer preeminent and active, but a community exists busy with many things rather than being absorbed and attracted by the only thing necessary: its Lord."

~ Pope Benedict XVI, 4.15.10 to Brazil's Bishops in Vatican City
