THE EUCHARIST

BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
The cup of blessing which we bless, 
is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? 
The bread which we break, 
is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 
Because there is one bread, 
we who are many are one body, 
for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:16-17

There is nothing so great, my children, as the Eucharist. If you were to put all the good actions in the world against a Communion well made, it would be like a grain of dust against a mountain. -- St. John Vianney
