Hands Are The Heart's Landscape.

The Eucharist Is Not Only A Particularly Intense Expression Of The Reality Of The Church's Life, But Also In A Sense Its Fountainhead. The Eucharist Feeds And Forms The Church: 'because There Is One Bread, We Who Are Many Are One Body, For We All Partake Of The One Bread' (1 Cor 10:17, Rsv). Because Of This Vital Link With The Sacrament Of The Body And Blood Of The Lord, The Mystery Of The Church Is Savored, Proclaimed, And Lived Supremely In The Eucharist.

The Only Struggle Which Religions Can Justify, The Only Struggle Worthy Of Humans, Is The Moral Struggle Against Humanity's Own Disordered Passions, Against Every Kind Of Selfishness, Against Attempts To Oppress Others, Against Every Type Of Hatred And Violence.

It Is Not Enough To Long For A Person As A Good For Oneself, One Must Also, And Above All, Long For That Person's Good.

Every Mass Is A Memorial Of That One Sacrifice And That Passover Which Restored Life To The World. Every Mass Puts Us Into Intimate Communion With Her, The Mother, Whose Sacrifice 'becomes Present' Just As The Sacrifice Of Her Son 'becomes Present' At The Words Of Consecration..... At The Root Of The Eucharist Is The Virginal And Maternal Life Of Mary

What Really Matters In Life Is That We Are Loved By Christ And That We Love Him In Return. In Comparison To The Love Of Jesus, Everything Else Is Secondary. And, Without The Love Of Jesus, Everything Is Useless.
