The Eucharist is not ordered to the forgiveness of mortal sins - [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – St. Faustina

"On a certain occasion, the Lord said to me, 'I am more deeply wounded by the small imperfections of chosen souls than by the sins of those living in the world.' It made me very sad that chosen souls make Jesus suffer, and Jesus told me, 'These little imperfections are not all. I will reveal [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. John Vianney

"At the Consecration, the priest does not say: 'This is the Body of Our Lord.' He says: 'This is My Body.' See then the power of the priest! The tongue of the priest and a morsel of bread makes a God. It is more than the creation of the world. Someone said: 'St. Philomena obeys [...]

As a result, love of neighbor will no longer be for them a commandment imposed, so [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – St. John Climacus

"Avarice is said to be the root of all evil (1 Tim. 6:10), and it is so because it causes hatred, theft, envy, separation, hostility, stormy blasts, remembrance of past wrongs, inhuman acts and even murder. A small fire can burn down an entire forest. But one virtue can help many to escape all the [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Thomas Aquinas

The first is on the part of the sacrament itself, the virtue of which gives health to men; and consequently it is profitable to receive it daily so as to receive its fruits daily. Hence Ambrose says (De Sacram. iv): 'If, whenever [...]
