"Live
on Him
that
you may live for
Him."
St John Vianney
St John Vianney
And
as they were eating, He took bread,
and
blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said,
"Take;
this is My Body."
And
He took a chalice, and when He had given thanks
He
gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
And
He said to them,
"This
is My Blood of the covenant,
which
is poured out for many."
