“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
