“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
