193 Saint Dominic Savio

"Ask Jesus to make you a saint. After all, only He can do that. Go to confession regularly and to Communion as often as you can."

194 Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"Salvation is from our God...on the throne, and from the Lamb!" This is the same Jesus Whom "everyone in the crowd was trying to touch...because power came out from Him that cured them all." "...From the Lamb flows a river of grace which heals every nation."

196 Saint Gertrude the Great - Prayer

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."

Our Lord told St. Gertrude the Great that this prayer would release 1000 souls from purgatory every time it is said. The prayer was extended to include living sinners as well.

197 Saint Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae

"It is appropriate that the Body and Blood of Christ be truly present in this Sacrament, because of the perfection of the New Covenant. The sacrifices of the Old Covenant contained the true sacrifice of Christ's Passion only in symbol."

198 Saint Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae

Therefore it was necessary that the sacrifice of the New Covenant, instituted by Christ, have something more, namely, that it contain Christ Himself who has suffered and contain Him not only in symbol but in reality."

199 Fathers of the Church - Council of Ephesus 431

"We are made partakers of the Body and Blood of Christ, not as taking common flesh, nor as of a holy man united to the Word in dignity, but the truly life-giving flesh of the Word Himself."
