Life's focal point...

  "The greatest tragedy would be 

to come to the end of our lives and realize 

that the Lord was so near, 

and yet we were so far away."

 - Fulton Sheen, The Eucharist God Among Us 

Retreat on the Priesthood

 

"It is most important that the holy Eucharist

becomes life's focal point: that the 

Eucharistic Savior is the center of existence; 

that every day is received from His hand 

and laid back therein; that the 

day's happenings are deliberated with Him.

 

In this way, God is given the best opportunity

to be heard in the heart,

to form the soul, 

and to make its faculties clear-sighted 

and alert for the supernatural."
