" 'Live' the Mass"
A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ. We must make an effort to 'live' the Mass with calm and serenity, with devotion and affection. Those who love acquire a finesse, a sensitivity of soul that makes them notice details that are sometimes very small, but that are important because they express the love of a passionate heart. (St. Josemaría, Christ is Passing By, 92). November 16, 2004
"Lord of Lords, hidden in the Bread"
"There he is: King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, hidden in the Bread. To this extreme has he humbled himself through love for you." (The Way, 538). October 12, 2004
"Love can only be repaid with love"
"Jesus has remained in the Sacred Host for us so as to stay by our side, to sustain us, to guide us. And love can only be repaid with love. How could we not turn to the Blessed Sacrament each day, even if it is only for a few minutes, to bring him our greetings and our love as children and as brothers?" Furrow, 686. October 28, 2003
"Jesus has remained"
"Jesus has remained in the Eucharist for love ... for you. He has remained, knowing how men would treat him ... and how you would treat him." (Holy Rosary, The Institution of the Eucharist). November 25, 2000
“I adore you, I love you, increase my faith”
When you receive him, tell him: Lord, I hope in you: I adore you, I love you, increase my faith. Be the support of my weakness: You, who have remained defenseless in the Eucharist so as to be the remedy for the weakness of your creatures. (The Forge, 832). November 06, 2000
“Jesus has remained within the Eucharist for love”
The frequency of our visits to the lord is in proportion to two factors: faith and the involvement of the heart; seeing the truth and loving it. (Furrow, 818). November 05, 2000
“We should love the Mass”
Keep struggling, so that the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar really becomes the centre and the root of your interior life, and so your whole day will turn into an act of worship - an extension of the Mass you have attended and a preparation for the next. Your whole day will then be an act of worship that overflows in aspirations, visits to the Blessed Sacrament and the offering up of your professional work and your family life. (The Forge, 69). November 04, 2000
“Christ waiting in the Eucharist for two thousand years”
Jesus has remained in the Sacred Host for us so as to stay by our side, to sustain us, to guide us. And love can only be repaid with love. How could we not turn to the Blessed Sacrament each day, even if it is only for a few minutes, to bring him our greetings and our love as children and as brothers? (Furrow, 686). September 12, 2000
“Participate lovingly in the holy Mass”
The humility of Jesus: in Bethlehem, in Nazareth, on Calvary. But more humiliation and more self-abasement still in the Sacred Host: more than in the stable, more than in Nazareth, more than on the Cross. That is why I must love the Mass so much ('Our' Mass, Jesus...) (The Way, 533). September 07, 2000
“The greatest gift of God to man”
When you receive him, tell him: Lord, I hope in you: I adore you, I love you, increase my faith. Be the support of my weakness: You, who have remained defenceless in the Eucharist so as to be the remedy for the weakness of your creatures. (The Forge, 832). SAINT JOSEMARÍA
