Eucharist, Evangelization, Page: Quotes, Quote Author, Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Like Mary, let us be full of zeal to go in haste to give Jesus to others. She was full of grace when, at the annunciation, she received Jesus. Like her, we too become full of grace every time we receive Holy Communion. It is the same Jesus whom she received and whom we receive at Mass. As soon as she received Him she went with haste to give Him to John. For us also, as soon as we receive Jesus in Holy Communion, let us go in haste to give Him to our sisters, to our poor, to the sick, to the dying, to the lepers, to the unwanted, and the unloved. By this we make Jesus present in the world today.
–Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)

Look then on Jesus, the author and preserver of faith: in complete sinlessness He suffered, and at the hands of those who were His own, and was numbered among the wicked. As you drink the cup of the Lord Jesus (how glorious it is!), give thanks to the Lord, the giver of all blessings.
–Saint Raymond of Penyafort (c. 1175-1275)

We must love with all our heart Jesus in the Eucharist. It is by love that Jesus instituted this sacrament of the Eucharist, in which he gives himself as food for our soul, so that we can be united to and transformed in him and in the end partake of his glory in Heaven.
