“When
we work hard, we must eat well. What a joy, that you can receive Holy Communion
often! It’s our life and support in this life. Receive
Communion often, and Jesus will change you into Himself.” -
St Peter Julian Eymard
Eucharistic thoughts from three
'family members' on their FEAST DAY
today...
St Louis de Montfort used to remain after Holy Mass for
thanksgiving
at least a half hour, and he would not permit any need or
assignment
to serve as a reason for omitting it. He said,
"I
would not give up this hour of thanksgiving
even for an
hour of Paradise."
St Louis de
Montfort

'She (Mother Mary) is an
echo of God, speaking and repeating only God.
If you say "Mary" she
says 'God'." ~ St Louis de
Montfort
St Louis de
Montfort, pray for us!
"Our body is a cenacle,
a monstrance:
through its crystal the
world should see God."

“The life of
Mamma was an act and a perennial action of faith and charity; it was a non-stop search for the will of God for every decision and for
every work, with prayer and meditation, Holy Mass and the
Eucharist,” explained St. Gianna’s husband to their
children after her death.
When called upon to justify his conversion,
one of Chanel's catechumens
had said of him,
"He loves us. He does what he teaches.
He forgives his enemies. His teaching is good."
