Fed and enlightened...

"My mission in heaven will be to draw souls, helping them 
to go out of themselves to cling to God, with a spontaneous, 
love-filled action, and to keep them in that great interior silence
which enables God to make His mark on them,
to transform them to Himself." - St Elizabeth of the Trinity


"To contemplate Christ
involves being able to recognize Him
whenever He manifests Himself,
in His many forms of presence,
but above all in the living sacrament
of His body and His blood.

The Church draws her life 
from Christ in the Eucharist;
by Him she is fed and 
by Him she is enlightened.
The Eucharist is both a mystery of faith
and a 'mystery of light.'"

Pope St John Paul II
