Heroic, authentic living!

"From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others." - St John Paul II

"Only through the Eucharist is it possible to live the heroic virtues of Christianity: charity, to the point of forgiving one's enemies; love for those who make us suffer; chastity in every age and situation of life; patience in suffering and when one is shocked by the silence of God in the tragedies of history or of one's own personal existence.
You must always be Eucharistic souls in order to be authentic Christians." 
St John Paul II*

A wheelchair was made for St John Paul II so he could move around freely. The chair was level with the Tabernacle in his chapel. His secretary found the Pope embracing the Tabernacle. He asked the Pope why. The Pope replied: “I just don't know what else I can do to console Him.”

StJohn Paul II, pray for us!
