“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

“…In this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood.”
– St. Francis of Assisi

“I held the Host with two fingers and thought: How small Jesus made Himself, in order to show us that He doesn’t expect great things of us, but rather little things with great love.”
