Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"The priest fulfills his principal mission and is manifested in all his fullness when he celebrates the Eucharist, and this manifestation is more complete when he himself allows the depth of that mystery to become visible, so that it alone shines forth in people's hearts and minds, through his ministry. This is the supreme exercise [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"In reality, the ministerial and hierarchical priesthood, the priesthood of the bishops and the priests, and, at their side, the ministry of the deacons-ministries which normally begin with the proclamation of the Gospel-are in the closest relationship with the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the principal and central raison d'etre of the sacrament of the priesthood, [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"In this way our eucharistic worship, both in the celebration of Mass and in our devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, is like a life-giving current that links our ministerial or hierarchical priesthood to the common priesthood of the faithful, and presents it in its vertical dimension and with its central value." Source:  Pope St. [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"Concupiscence in general – and the concupiscence of the body in particular – attacks precisely this 'sincere gift': it deprives man, one could say, of the dignity of the gift, which is expressed by his body through femininity and masculinity, and in some sense 'depersonalizes' man, making him an object 'for the other.'” Pope [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"The Church draws her life from the Eucharist. This truth does not simply express a daily experience of faith, but recapitulates the heart of the mystery of the Church." Source:  Pope St. John Paul II, Papal Encyclical: Ecclesia De Eucharista, 4/17/2003

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"The mystery of the Eucharist – sacrifice, presence, banquet – does not allow for reduction or exploitation; it must be experienced and lived in its integrity, both in its celebration and in the intimate converse with Jesus which takes place after receiving communion or in a prayerful moment of Eucharistic adoration apart from Mass." [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"The path itself is long and strewn with obstacles greater than our human resources alone can overcome, yet we have the Eucharist, and in its presence we can hear in the depths of our hearts, as if they were addressed to us, the same words heard by the Prophet Elijah: 'Arise and eat, else the [...]

Daily Virtue Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"The spousal meaning of the body has not become totally foreign to that heart: it has not been totally suffocated in it by concupiscence, but only habitually threatened.  The 'heart' has become a battlefield between love and concupiscence.  The more concupiscence dominates the heart, the less the heart experiences the gift of the person that [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"When, at the Visitation, she bore in her womb the Word made flesh, she became in some way a 'tabernacle' – the first 'tabernacle' in history – in which the Son of God, still invisible to our human gaze, allowed himself to be adored by Elizabeth, radiating his light as it were through the eyes [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

"In a certain sense Mary lived her Eucharistic faith even before the institution of the Eucharist, by the very fact that she offered her virginal womb for the Incarnation of God’s Word.  The Eucharist, while commemorating the passion and resurrection, is also in continuity with the incarnation. At the Annunciation Mary conceived the Son of [...]
