Energy to live great love...

For Christ's love compels us...  II Cor 5:14


"The Eucharist is support, light and 
consolation in trial and suffering.  
Find in this sacrament the spiritual 
energy to live the great love 
of Christ of which He gave us proof 
when giving us his Body and Blood.” 
Pope Benedict XVI
6/14/2006

should have started sooner, while it was not so 
difficult; but, in any case; 'better late than never."
