“Society will again someday
become Christian won to Jesus Christ
by the apostolate of Eucharistic
Prayer.” - St Peter Julian Eymard
“The spread
of the Eucharistic Kingdom of Christ is necessary for the
salvation of society. The Eucharist is the life not only of the individual
Christian, but of nations as well. We know well that an
age flourishes or degenerates in accordance with its worship of the
divine Eucharist. It is the life and measure of its faith, charity, and
virtue.
The Eucharist
is not only for personal piety; it is essential to social life,
for it is the very life of the world. We must take Christ from the solitude of
His tabernacle, so that He may place Himself at the head of Christian society,
to guide and save it. We must build stately palaces, royal thrones, organize a
court of faithful servants, a family of friends and a host of adorers and
apostles. Such a public and solemn protestation of our faith in the kingship of
Christ, in the reality of His sacramental presence is a prime necessity of our
day.”

FEAST
DAY - AUGUST 2
Happy and Holy 102nd Birthday, Sr Paulina
BeNoot,
Contemplative Good Shepherd Sister!
(She remains sharp as a tack - and
attributes her vocation to a
one-time priest in Detroit - Fr Solanus
Casey!)
On
his deathbed St Peter Julian Eymard gave this reply
to
a religious who requested a final point for
reflection:
"I
have nothing more to tell you.
You
already have the Eucharist.
What more do you want?"
What more do you want?"
St
Peter Julian Eymard, pray for us!

Oh, day of Love Divine, all

excelling!
An Old German saying:
It is worth wearing out a pair of shoes
to walk
to receive a priest's First
Blessing!

Let us hold them in prayer and offer thanksgiving for their
