Eucharist Quote: St. John Vianney

"None (of the other sacraments) can be compared to the Eucharist… all this (Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Marriage) seems to be only an apprenticeship to His love for men. In the adorable Sacrament of the Eucharist He goes much further." -St. John Vianney

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Thomas Aquinas

"The Church's sacraments are ordained for helping man in the spiritual life. But the spiritual life is analogous to the corporeal, since corporeal things bear a resemblance to spiritual. Now it is clear that just as generation is required for corporeal life, since thereby man receives life; and growth, whereby man is brought to maturity: [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Thomas Aquinas

"Since the whole mystery of our salvation is comprised in this sacrament, therefore is it performed with greater solemnity than the other sacraments. And since it is written (Eccles. 4:17): 'Keep thy foot when thou goest into the house of God'; and (Ecclus. 18:23): 'Before prayer prepare thy soul,' therefore the celebration of this mystery [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Thomas Aquinas

"Greater devotion is required in this sacrament [Eucharist] than in the others, for the reason that the entire Christ is contained therein. Moreover, this sacrament requires a more general devotion, i.e. on the part of the whole people, since for them it is offered; and not merely on the part of the recipients, as in [...]

Daily Eucharist Quote – Pope St. John Paul II

It is at one and the same time a Sacrifice-Sacrament, a Communion-Sacrament, and a Presence-Sacrament And, although it is true that the [...]
