“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

“Do not entertain the notion that you ought to advance in your prayer. If you do, you will only find you have put on the brake instead of the acceleration. All real progress in spiritual things comes gently, imperceptibly, and is the work of God. Our crude efforts spoil it. Know yourself for the childish, limited and dependent soul you are. Remember that the only growth which matters happens without our knowledge and that trying to stretch ourselves is both dangerous and silly. Think of the Infinite Goodness, never of your own state.” IfsThinkingKnowsTryingRealSoulMatterStatesGodHappensChristianRememberSpiritualReligionGrowthWorkPrayerEffortChristianityKnowledgeProgressDangerousOughtGoodnessInfinitePersonal GrowthNotionSillyGentleDependentKnow YourselfAdvancementSpoilOur PrayersStretchingCrudeAdvancingBrakeAccelerationChildishness Author:Evelyn Underhill
