Giving free rein to the heart...

"Prayer is the oxygen of the soul." - St Padre Pio 

"Kneel down and render the tribute
of your presence and devotion to Jesus 

in the Blessed Sacrament. 

Confide all your needs to Him, 

along with those of others.

Speak to Him with filial abandonment, 

give free rein to your heart, 

and give Him complete freedom 

to work in you as He thinks best."

St Padre Pio of Pietrelcino

Priest, Stigmatist, Mystic

Italy ~ 1887-1968

"When I am close to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, 

I feel as if my heart is bursting out of my chest." - St Padre Pio

St Padre Pio, pray for us!

In His Light, we see light...

For with you is the fountain of life; 

in your light we see light.

 Psalm 36:9

 

 

“If the Blessed Sacrament is Jesus all for us,

is it not the most legitimate of conclusions 

that we should be all for Him?

We should be all for Jesus, if Jesus is our all.

And what does this mean?

 

Surely, among other things, 

that the Blessed Sacrament should be to us just

the single overpowering fact of the world.

 

Our hands hold Him; 

our words make Him;

our tongue rests Him;

our body compasses Him;

our souls feel Him;

our flesh feeds upon Him,

Him, the Infinite, the Incomprehensible,

the Immense, the Eternal.

 

Must not all life be looked at in this light,

just as the whole Church lies in this light

and has no other?"

 

Fr. Frederick W Faber
