Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Alphonsus Liguori

“Had men but always recourse to the Most Blessed Sacrament to seek from It the remedy for their ills, they certainly would not be as miserable as they are. The prophet Jeremias, lamenting, exclaimed: ‘Is there no balm in Galaad? or is there no physician there?’ (Jer. viii. 22.) Galaad, a mountain of Arabia, rich in aromatical spices, according to Venerable Bede, is a figure of Jesus Christ, who in this Sacrament keeps in readiness all the remedies for our woes. Why, then, our Redeemer seems to ask, do you complain of your misfortunes, O sons of Adam, when you have the Physician and the remedy for them all in this Sacrament? ‘Come to Me, and I will refresh you’ (St. Matt. xi. 28).”
