"...I have come that they may have life,
and have it to the full."
Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of St John 10:10b
First Communion, Easter Vigil ~ St Mary Church, Norwalk, CT
"This most high and most excellent Sacrament
is the health of soul and body,
the remedy of all spiritual diseases,
by which
my vices are cured,
my passions are restrained,
temptations are overcome or lessened,
a greater grace is infused,
virtue receives an increase,
faith is confirmed,
hope strengthened,
and charity inflamed and extended."
Imitation of Christ, Thomas à Kempis
Book 4, Chapter 4
