“It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.” IfsWorldWellsMayJesusChristJesus ChristMiracleLaysTriumphDeniedAltarsPalm Sunday Author:William Barclay
“The only cross in all of history that was turned into an altar was the cross on which Jesus Christ died. It was a Roman cross. They nailed Him on it, and God, in His majesty and mystery, turned it into an altar. The Lamb who was dying in the mystery and wonder of God was turned into the Priest who offered Himself. No one else was a worthy offering.” JesusChristWonderMysteryDyingJesus ChristCrossesDiedWorthyPriestsOfferingEasterMajestyAltarsLambs Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

“Before the coming of Jesus Christ, men fled away from God and, being attached to the earth, refused to unite themselves to their Creator. But the loving God has drawn them to Himself by the bonds of love, as He promised by the prophet Osee [Hosea]: "I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bonds of love" (11:4). These bonds are the benefits, the lights, the calls to His love, the promises of Paradise which He makes to us, but above all, the gift which He has bestowed upon us of Jesus Christ in the Sacrifice of the Cross and in the Sacrament of the Altar.” MenLightEarthJesusChristSacrificePromiseBenefitsDrawsJesus ChristCrossesCreatorProphetParadiseAdamSacramentsHis LoveAltarsLoving GodCordsBonds Of Love Author:Alphonsus Liguori
