144 Saint Padre Pio

"At times during the Mass I am consumed by the fire of Divine Love. My face seems to burn."

146 Saint Louis de Montfort (Hymn No. 30, 3rd Stanza)

"In the Blessed Sacrament
God loves us so tenderly,
He empties Himself completely.
O, who could believe it?
Withholding nothing, He gives his all.
He gives his flesh for us to eat
He gives his blood for us to drink.
He gives his soul, his infinite being
To transform us into Himself.
Praised be the Blessed Sacrament!"

147 Saint Therese of Lisieux's poem "The Atom of Jesus-Host."

"I am just a speck of dust,
But I want to make my dwelling
In the shadow of the sanctuary
With the Prisoner of Love.
Ah! my soul longs for the host.
I love Him and want nothing more.
It is the hidden God who attracts me.
I am the atom of Jesus..."

148 Pope Leo XIII

"The twentieth century must be a century of the Blessed Sacrament if it means to be a century of resurrection and of life."

149 Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"I know I would not be able to work one week if it were not for that continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."

150 Saint John Vianney

"If we really loved the good God, we should make it our joy and happiness to come and spend a few moments to adore Him, and ask Him for the grace of forgiveness; and we should regard those moments as the happiest of our lives."
