Quotes of the Day:

“How many of you say: I should like to see His face, His garments, His shoes. You do see Him, you touch Him, you eat Him. He gives Himself to you, not only that you may see Him, but also to be your food and nourishment.” —  St. John Chrysostom

“If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion.” —  St. Maximilian Kolbe

“Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you — for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart…don’t listen to the demon, laugh at him, and go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love….”

“Receive Communion often, very often .. .there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing….”

“The guest of our soul knows our misery; He comes to find an empty tent within us — that is all He asks.”

—  St. Therese of Lisieux
