“Our way of thinking is attuned to the
Eucharist, and
the
Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking.” – St Irenaeus
Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking.” – St Irenaeus
"The Mass is that which makes the cross visible to every eye; it placards the Cross at all the
crossroads of civilization; it brings Calvary so close that even tired feet can
make the journey to its sweet embrace; every hand may now reach out to touch
its Sacred Burden, and every ear may hear its sweet appeal, for the Mass and the Cross are the same.
In both there is the same offering of a perfectly surrendered will of the beloved Son, the
same Body broken, the same Blood flowed forth, the same Divine Forgiveness.
All that has been said and done and acted during Holy Mass is to be taken away with us, lived,
practiced, and woven into all the circumstances and conditions of our daily
lives."
Venerable Fulton J Sheen
