Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Alphonsus Liguori

“Father Salesius, of the Society of Jesus, felt consolation in only speaking of the Most Blessed Sacrament: he could never visit It enough: when called to the parlour, on returning to his room, when going about the house, he always profited of these occasions to repeat his visits to his beloved Lord; so much so, that it was remarked that scarcely an hour of the day passed without his visiting Him.
