What They Say About The Eucharist

Genesis 14:18-20
Psalm 110:1-4
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Luke 9:11-17

“This is my body that is for you. Do this is remembrance of me.” - 1 Corinthians 11:24

“Everything in man should halt in awe. Let all the world quake and let heaven exult when Christ the Son of the Living God is there on the altar in the hands of the priest.” - St. Francis of Assisi

“I wish now to affirm that I believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in this Sacrament, truly God and truly man, the Son of God, the Son of the Virgin Mary. This I believe and hold for true and certain.” - St. Thomas Aquinas (on his deathbead)

“We cannot separate our lives from the Eucharist; the moment we do, something breaks.” - Mother Theresa

“Eucharist is… a foretaste of the fullness of joy promised by Christ… it is in some way the anticipation of heaven, the ‘pledge of future glory’.” - Pope John Paul II (Encyclical Letter Ecclesia de Eucharistia)

“Amen.” Alvin B.

Reflection: When you receive Holy Communion, do you feel and believe in the real presence of Jesus? Receive Him today.

“Down in adoration falling; Lo! The sacred Host we hail.”

St. Getulius and Companion, martyrs, pray for us.
