There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth, and more than that." J. R. R. Tolkien "We cannot raise the question: ‘How can there be evil if God exists?’ without raising the second, how can there be good if He exists not?"

Snoopy The Eucharist“Can you feel the fragrance of Paradise which diffuses Itself from the Tabernacle?” - St. Philip
“Do grant, oh my God, that when my lips approach Yours to kiss You, I may taste the gall that was given to You; when my shoulders lean against Yours, make me feel Your scourging; when my flesh is united with Yours, in the Holy Eucharist, make me feel Your passion; when my head comes near Yours, make me feel Your thorns; when my heart is close to Yours, make me feel Your spear.” - St. Gemma Galgani
“This food we call the Eucharist, of which no one is allowed to partake except one who believes that the things we teach are true, and has received the washing for forgiveness of sins and for rebirth, and who lives as Christ handed down to us. For we do not receive these things as common bread or common drink; but as Jesus Christ our Savior being incarnate by God’s Word took flesh and blood for our salvation, so also we have been taught that the food consecrated by the Word of prayer which comes from him, from which our flesh and blood are nourished by transformation, is the flesh and blood of that incarnate Jesus.” - St. Justin Martyr, 2nd Century

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.” “By our little acts of charity practiced in the shade we convert souls far away, we help missionaries, we win for them abundant alms; and by that means build actual dwellings spiritual and material for our Eucharistic Lord.” “It is not to remain in a golden ciborium that He comes down each day from Heaven, but to find another Heaven, the Heaven of our soul in which He takes delight.” - St. Therese of Lisieux
“And just as He appeared before the holy Apostles in true flesh, so now He has us see Him in the Sacred Bread. Looking at Him with the eyes of their flesh, they saw only His Flesh, but regarding Him with the eyes of the spirit, they believed that He was God. In like manner, as we see bread and wine with our bodily eyes, let us see and believe firmly that it is His Most Holy Body and Blood, True and Living." “For One in such a lofty position to stoop so low is a marvel that is staggering. What sublime humility and humble sublimeness, that the Lord of the Universe, the Divine Son of God, should stoop as to hide Himself under the appearance of bread for our salvation! Behold the humble way of God, my brothers. Therefore, do not hold yourselves to be anything of yourselves, so that you may be entirely acceptable to One Who gives Himself entirely to you.” - St. Francis of Assisi
“If I can give you any advice, I beg you to get closer to the Eucharist and to Jesus... We must pray to Jesus to give us that tenderness of the Eucharist.” “When the Sisters are exhausted, up to their eyes in work; when all seems to go awry, they spend an hour in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

“Christ held Himself in His hands when He gave His Body to His disciples saying: ‘This is My Body.’ No one partakes of this Flesh before he has adored it.” “On the altar you are looking at the same thing as you saw there last night. You have not heard, however, what this is, what it signifies, or about the greatness of the reality of which it is a sacrament. Your eyes are looking at bread and cup. This is the evidence before your physical sight. But your faith must be instructed concerning it - this bread being Christ ‘s Body and the cup containing His Blood. Though perhaps these words may be enough to initiate faith, faith must be further instructed in accordance with the Prophet’s words: ‘Believe that you may understand’ ( Is 7:9).” - St. Augustine of Hippo
I hunger for the bread of God, the flesh of Jesus Christ ...; I long to drink of his blood, the gift of unending love. - St. Ignatius of Antioch
“To keep me from sin and straying from Him, God has used devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. My life vows destined to be spent in the light irradiating from the tabernacle, and it is to the Heart of Jesus that I dare go for the solution of all my problems,” “O Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, I would like to be filled with love for You; keep me closely united with You, may my heart be near to Yours. I want to be to You like the apostle John. O Mary of the Rosary, keep me recollected when I say these prayers of yours; bind me forever, with your rosary, to Jesus of the Blessed Sacrament. Blessed be Jesus, my love..,” - Pope John XXIII
“O what a wonderful and intimate union is established between the soul and You, O lovable Lord, when it receives You in the Holy Eucharist!

In speaking of Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament, St. Peter Julian Eymard writes: “The Lord ‘hath set His tabernacle in the sun,’ says the Psalmist. The sun is Mary’s heart.” “Words cannot express the perfection of his adoration. If Saint John leaped in the womb at the approach of Mary, what feelings must have coursed through Joseph during those six months when he had at his side and under his very eyes the hidden God! If the father of Origin used to kiss his child during the night and adore the Holy Spirit living within Him, can we doubt that Joseph must often have adored Jesus hidden in the pure tabernacle of Mary? How fervent that adoration must have been: My Lord and my God, behold your servant! No one can describe the adoration of this noble soul. He saw nothing, yet he believed; his faith had to pierce the virginal veil of Mary. So likewise with you! Under the veil of the Sacred Species your faith must see our Lord. Ask St. Joseph for his lively, constant faith.” “The Eucharist is the supreme proof of the love of Jesus. After this, there is nothing more but Heaven itself.” “Happy is the soul that knows how to find Jesus in the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in all things!” - St. Peter Julian Eymard
“If Christ did not want to dismiss the Jews without food in the desert for fear that they would collapse on the way, it was to teach us that it is dangerous to try to get to heaven without the Bread of Heaven.” - St. Jerome
"Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!" - St. Bernard of Clairvaux
“The faith of the Church is this: That one and identical is the Word of God and the Son of Mary, Who suffered on the Cross, Who is present in the Eucharist, and Who rules in Heaven,” - Pope Pius XII
“God is as really present in the consecrated Host as He is in the glory of Heaven,” - St. Paschal Baylon
“Do not think that Jesus Christ is forgetful of you, since he has left you, as the greatest memorial and pledge of his love, himself in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.” - St. Alphonsus Liguori
“Eternal Son of the living God, Whom I here acknowledge really present! I adore Thee with all the powers of my soul. Prostrate with the Angels in the most profound reverence, I love Thee, O my Saviour, Whom I now behold on the throne of Thy love! O dread Majesty, O infinite Mercy! Save me, forgive me! Grant that I may never more be separated from Thee.” -St. Basil "I’m not afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens." Woody Allen "The best way to get praise is to die." Italian Proverb "In the long run we are all dead." John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) "After I’m dead I would rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one."

Marlon Brando "The more a man exercises himself and asserts his own influence over his own work, the less the part that luck plays. It is true in baseball that the single greatest menace that a man has is the willingness to alibi his own failures; the greatest menace to a man’s success in business, I think, sometimes is a perfect willingness to excuse himself for his own mistakes." Baseball general manager Branch Rickey, 1926 "The breakfast of champions is not cereal, it’s the opposition."

William Donohue "If we in this nation continue to sow the images of murder, violence, drug abuse, sadism, arrogance, irreverence, blasphemy, perversion, pornography, and aberration before the eyes of millions of children, year after year and day after day, we should not be surprised if the foundations of our society rot away as if from leprosy." Senator William Byrd, Democrat, West Virginia: Speech on the Senate floor, September 18, 1991 "The whole philosophy of our country has changed to accept immorality, degeneracy, pornographic movies. I’m the world’s greatest advocate of the First Amendment, but somehow we’ve got to have freedom with some responsibility."

A day is not the same without it... - Response to, "What is your favorite thing?" I take nothing for granted. I now have only good days or great days. Giving up was never an option. To believe, when all along we humans know that nothing can cure the briefness of this life, that there is no remedy for our basic mortality, that is a form of bravery… So I believed.
