Eucharist: life of the world...

 “Society will again someday become Christian

won to Jesus Christ by the apostolate of
Eucharistic Prayer.”  -  St Peter Julian Eymard

“The spread of the Eucharistic Kingdom of Christ 
is necessary for the salvation of society. 
The Eucharist is the life not only of the individual Christian, 

but of nations as well. 
We know well that an age flourishes or degenerates
in accordance with its worship of the divine Eucharist. 
It is the life and measure of its faith, charity, and virtue. 

The Eucharist is not only for personal piety; 
it is essential to social life, 

for it is the very life of the world.
We must take Christ from the solitude of His tabernacle, 

so that He may place Himself at the head of Christian society, 

to guide and save it. We must build stately palaces, royal thrones, 

organize a court of faithful servants, a family of friends 

and a host of adorers and apostles. Such a public and solemn 

protestation of our faith in the kingship of Christ, in the reality 

of His sacramental presence is a prime necessity of our day.”
