Ardent love compels...

 "I will go anywhere and do anything in order to communicate 
the love of Jesus to those who do not know Him 
or have forgotten Him."- St. Frances Xavier Cabrini



"The more ardent the love for the Eucharist in the hearts of the
Christian people, the more clearly will they recognize
the goal of all mission:  to bring Christ to others.

Not just a theory or a way of life inspired by Christ, but the gift
of His very Person.  Anyone who has not shared the Truth of love
with his brothers and sisters has not yet given enough."

Pope Benedict XVI

Empty ... to make room...

“The humility of Jesus can be seen in the crib ...

and now in His permanent state
of humility in the tabernacle,
where He has reduced Himself
to such a small particle of bread
that the priest can hold Him with two fingers.

The more we empty ourselves,
the more room we give God to fill us.”

St Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come 
to you without leaving happier. Be the living expression of
God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile.” – St Mother Teresa of Calcutta

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.”

St. Peter Julian Eymard
France ~ 1811-1868
Founder of Congregation of
Priests of the Blessed Sacrament (1856)
