EUCHARISTIC QUOTES FROM SEVERAL SAINTS

“When you have received Him, stir up your heart to do Him homage; speak to Him about your spiritual life, gazing upon Him in your soul where He is present for your happiness; welcome Him as warmly as possible, and behave outwardly in such a way that your actions may give proof to all of His Presence.” St. Francis De Sales “Holy Communion being the daily bread of a priest, I feel myself happy, well pleased, and resigned in the rather exceptional circumstances in which it has pleased Divine Providence to put me.” Saint Damien of Molokai “The Eucharist is the bread that gives strength. It is at once the most eloquent proof of His love and the most powerful means of fostering His love in us. He gives Himself every day so that our hearts as burning coals may set afire the hearts of the faithful.” St. Damien of Molokai “If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively what takes place in this Sacrament, I am sure that the thought of Christ’s love for us would transform the coldness of our hearts into a fire of love and gratitude.” St. Angela of Foligno “The Holy Sacrifice is something so great that it would require three eternities to offer it up fittingly; the first to prepare for it, the second to celebrate it, and the third to return thanks.” St. John Eudes
