Treasure - yours and mine! ...

"The Eucharist is our most beautiful treasure.  

It is the Sacrament par excellence; it ushers us into eternal life 

in advance; it contains the entire mystery of our salvation; 

it is the source and summit of the action and life of the Church..." 

Pope Benedict XVI

 

The Mass is truly a 'hidden treasure'

and, alas, our cold, dead faith allows it to remain so.

If we valued it as we ought,

we would hurry every morning to the church, 

careless of the snows of winter 

and the heats of summer,

in order to get a share

of the riches of this treasure."

St Leonard of Port Maurice
