The Eucharist ~ The Mystery of Faith


"It is there in His Eucharist that He says to me: 'I thirst, thirst for your love, your sacrifices, your sufferings. I thirst for your happiness, for it was to save you that I came into the world, that I suffered and died on the Cross, and in order to console and strengthen you I left you the Eucharist. So you have there all my life, all my tenderness.'" 
 ~ Mother Mary of Jesus, the Foundress of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice
 
 
"What God wants through the pain we endure is to make us more conformed to His Divine will, because the more pain we have in our lives, the more holy God wants us to become. God always has a Divinely good purpose through the suffering we experience." 
~ Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
