"I believe in the miracle performed each day in the holy Mass.
It is a continuous and miraculous multiplication of the
Angelic Bread and pouring of graces on the zealous and
on the lukewarm souls." - Blessed Michael Sopoćko
"The effect of Holy Communion is the conversion and
increase of sanctifying grace and supernatural life to a
degree which is not attained by any other sacrament.
As bodily food serves to build the physical side of man, so the
Blessed Sacrament revives, heals, protects, strengthens,
feeds and develops the supernatural life of the soul. Here
is effected the closest union with Christ, not only a spiritual
but also a physical union with such tangibility and perfection
that no closer union on earth is possible.
Moreover, this sacrament ... imparts to us a special grace of
devotion and of ardent love from which comes happiness
and bliss, peace and fortitude, and boundless
readiness for sacrifices for God and our neighbor."
Blessed Michael Sopoćko (1888-1975)
Confessor and spiritual advisor of St Faustina
