580 The Holy Mass - St. Augustine

In praise of his mother, St. Monica:
"She did not let a day pass without being present at the divine Sacrifice before Your altar, O Lord."

581 Saint Bernard

"When Jesus is corporally present within us, the angels surround us as a guard of love,"

582 Saint St. Pius X

"If the Angels could envy, they would envy us for Holy Communion."

583 Fathers of the Church - St. John Chrysostom

"You envy the opportunity of the woman who touched the vestments of Jesus, of the sinful woman who washed His feet with her tears, of the women of Galilee who had the happiness of following Him in His pilgrimages, of the Apostles and disciples who conversed with Him familiarly, of the people of the time who listened to the words of grace and salvation which came forth from His lips. You call happy those who saw Him ... But, come to the altar and you will see Him, you will touch Him, you will give to Him holy kisses, you will wash Him with your tears, you will carry Him within you like Mary Most Holy."

584 Saint Therese of Lisieux (Of the Child Jesus)

From Desires near the Tabernacle
"I would like to be the chalice there, where I would adore the Divine Blood. I can however in the Holy Sacrifice, gather It in me every morning. My soul is therefore more dear to Jesus, it is more precious than vessels of gold."

585 Saint Bonaventure

"O Christian souls, do you wish to prove your true love towards your dead? Do you wish to send them the most precious help and golden key to Heaven? Receive Holy Communion often for the repose of their souls."
