Daily Eucharist Quote – St. John Vianney

“THE RESPECT DUE TO CHURCHES

What is this holy place! It is truly the house of God and the gate of heaven! exclaimed the patriarch Jacob after the visions of the miraculous ladder. We can say as much of each of our churches. They are the dwelling places of angels and archangels, the palace of God, heaven itself. If we do not believe it, look at the altar of sacrifice. Recall for what purpose and for what end it is setup. Think what He is Who is about to come down, Who will be penetrated with a holy awe.”
