Come and share
your master's happiness! - Matthew 25:
21/23
“St Rose of Lima
If anyone asked her what effects the Blessed Sacrament produced in her, she stammered and said she had no words to express them, but that she seemed to pass entirely into God, and was inundated with such happiness that nothing in common life could be compared to it" (pg 34, Hidden Treasure). ...
"St Joseph Benedict LaBre, St Paschal Baylon and St Rose of Lima are three saints that we know of who spent forty straight hours in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament commemorating the forty hours Christ was in the tomb" (pg 39, Hidden Treasure).
