“[These are] the feelings the Savior hidden beneath the eucharistic species inspired me to share with you... when I asked him through His infinite merits to help you, and fill you with strength, courage, resignation, love for His Sacrament. His answer was that every one of these graces is at your disposal, it was up to you to... go and draw them from the well by frequent participation in the Body of (Our Lord), the only and abundant fountain, which has this special quality that it... overflows for those who have an insatiable thirst for its waters.”
— Saint Eugène de Mazenod, Bishop of Marseilles | Letters, December 1810

“The Eucharistic Mystery... is the font of life that cleanses us and strengthens us to live not for ourselves but for God and to be united to each other by the closest ties of love.”
— Saint Paul VI, Pope | Mysterium fidei, October 1995

“The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities of service to the Church and to the whole world … Let Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament speak to your hearts. It is he who is the true answer of life that you seek. He stays here with us: He is God with us. Seek him without tiring, welcome him without reserve, love him without interruption: today, tomorrow, forever!”
— Saint John Paul II, Pope | Address to young people of Bologna, September 1997

“The unique and individual existence of Christ the Lord, who lives in the glory of the heavens, …..abides in the Blessed Sacrament, which is preserved in the altar's tabernacle, positioned as the heart of our temples. Because of this, we indeed have the sweet obligation to honor and adore in the Sacred Host, which our eyes can behold, the very Word Incarnate, whom they cannot perceive.”
— Saint Paul VI, Pope | Credo of the People of God

“The Eucharist is the supreme proof of the love of Jesus. After this, there is nothing more but Heaven itself.”
– Saint Peter Julian Eymard
