“Mary lived in the divine Eucharist, the center of her love. All her thoughts, words, and actions sprang from It like the rays from the sun. The Eucharist was the oracle which she consulted, the grace which she followed. But Jesus Christ in His Sacrament lives the same life of love which consumed Him in His mortal days. In His sacramental state He continues to adore His Father by His depthless self-abasement. He is still the Mediator and Interceder with divine goodness for the salvation of men” MenStillsSelfStatesActionFatherJesusChristSunGraceDivineGoodnessJesus ChristSalvationMortalsRaysMarySacramentsAdoreConsumedEucharistOraclesWords And ActionsMediatorsAbasement Author:Peter Julian Eymard

“One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.” GivingMindWellsHeartChildrenFeelingsHandsTodayAbleWantedGivenInterestChristBornAnswersRoomsChristianityMillionsTakenAtheismResponseMaryHostileCrowdedDefiancePreoccupationInnsAccommodationsBethlehemAlready Taken Author:Billy Graham
