Live on the divine Eucharist, like the Hebrews did on the Manna. Your soul can be entirely dedicated to the divine Eucharist and very holy in the midst of your work and contacts with the world.
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
When we work hard, we must eat well. What a joy, that you can receive Holy Communion often! It’s our life and support in this life — Receive Communion often, and Jesus will change you into himself.
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
Try to set alight in yourself a warm desire for this sacrament and to make progress every day both in your fervent readiness to do only God’s will, and in spiritual wisdom, making it the queen and ruler over all your actions of the spirit, the soul and the body. Every time you take communion, while partaking of this bloodless sacrifice, offer yourself as a sacrifice to God, that is, profess your complete readiness to endure every affliction, every sorrow and every wrong you may meet in the course of your life, for the sake of the love of God, Who sacrificed Himself for us.
— Lawrence Scupoli (1529-1610)
How is it that we do not die of love in seeing that God Himself could do no more than shed His divine blood for us drop by drop? When as man He was preparing for death, He made Himself our food in order to give us life. God becomes food, bread for his creatures. Is this not enough to make us die of love?
–Saint Teresa of the Andes (1900-1920)
The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
As long as you receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament every morning, you must consider yourself extremely fortunate.
–Saint Pio (1887-1968)
