Remedy, strength, source

“The manna which God sent down every morning
into the camp of the Israelites had all sorts of flavors
and virtues; it not only restored failing energies and
gave vigor of body, but it was a bread of sweetness. 

 The Holy Eucharist, which it prefigures, possesses likewise every virtue.  It is a remedy for our spiritual infirmities, strength for our daily weaknesses,
a source of peace, of joy and happiness.”



St Peter Julian Eymard
