Understanding the work...

"The Eucharist is supremely effective

for the transformation of the world into a world of

justice, holiness, and peace." - Pope St Paul VI

"Since we began this adoration

of the Blessed Sacrament,

we have not reduced our work;

we devote just as much time to it as before,

but with more understanding.

People accept us better. They are hungry for God.

They have need, no longer of us, 
but of Jesus."

St Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Like the Angel of His heart...

"You must be holy in the way God asks you to be holy.

God does not want you to be a Trappist monk or a hermit. 
He wills that you sanctify the world and your everyday life."

 - St Vincent Pallotti

"Be the apostle of the divine Eucharist,

like a flame which enlightens and warms,

like the Angel of His heart who will go

to proclaim Him

to those who don't  know Him 
and will encourage those who love Him 
and are suffering."

St Peter Julian Eymard

Errand of love...

Above all, love each other deeply... I Peter 4:8a

 Breath of Heaven,
carry us on the impulse of Christ's love,
as easily as thistledown is carried on the wind;
that in the Advent season of our souls, 
while He is formed in us, in secret and in silence -
the Creator in the hands of His creatures, 
as the Host in the hands of the priest -

we may carry Him forth 
to wherever He wishes to be,
as Mary carried Him over the hills
on an errand of love, to the house of Elizabeth.

To know, love and serve: the goal...

 6. Q. Why did God make you? 

A. God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world,

and to be happy with Him for ever in heaven. - Baltimore Catechism

"Evangelization is Eucharistic, 
because it draws us more deeply into the life of God - 
all people, no matter who they are, 

can more deeply come to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.

Our call 

is to help our friends deepen their love of God 
by the witness of our lives.

the proclamation of the Gospel, 
and by assistance in sharing the sacramental life.
