"Live on Him that you may live for Him." - 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."

As we venerate the glory of Saint Mark,
