• EUCHARIST, n. A sacred feast of the religious sect of Theophagi. A dispute once unhappily arose among the members of this sect as to what it was that they ate. In this controversy some five hundred thousand have already been slain, and the question is still unsettled.

• If we show the Lord's death at Communion, we must show the Lord's life in the world. If it is a Eucharist on Sunday, it must prove on Monday that it was also a Sacrament.

• Our Lord came to the aid of each great tribulation with a special devotion. The present and future tribulations of the Church and of nations are greater than at any other period, and this persecution is more dangerous than those of previous times. Hence, the devotion which God sends to the succor of His Church and of the nations at the present time is the devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist. It is the highest of all devotions.

  Papa León XIII

• This is a real presence which includes every dimension of who Jesus is: body and blood, human soul and divine person. The consecrated Eucharistic species are the Lord and therefore command our adoration. We do not adore ourselves, nor the ordained priest, nor the Bible, even though these are vehicles for Christ's spiritual presence; we do adore the Eucharist, this blessed sacrifice made really present sacramentally.

• Desde hace dos mil años, la Iglesia es la cuna en la que María deposita a Jesús y lo confía a la adoración y contemplación de todos los pueblos. Que la humildad de la Esposa haga resplandecer aún más la gloria y el poder de la Eucaristía, que ella celebra y atesora en su corazón. En el signo del Pan y del Vino consagrados, Cristo Jesús resucitado y glorificado, luz de las naciones, revela la realidad perenne de su Encarnación. Él permanece vivo y real en medio de nosotros para alimentar a los fieles con su Cuerpo y su Sangre.

  Pope John Paul II

• The Church has a special duty to safeguard and strengthen the sacredness of the Eucharist. In our pluralistic and often deliberately secularized society, the living faith of the Christian community - a faith always aware of its rights vis-a-vis those who do not share the faith - ensures respect for this sacredness

• La Santa Comunión es el camino más corto y seguro hacia el Cielo. Hay otros: la inocencia, pero eso es para niños pequeños; la penitencia, pero nos da miedo; el aguante generoso de las pruebas de la vida, pero cuando llegan lloramos y pedimos ser. El camino más seguro, más fácil, más corto, es la Eucaristía.

• The key to seeing why there should be a Eucharistic worship distinct from the Mass is that the Eucharist is Jesus Christ. No less than His contemporaries in Palestine adored and implored Him for the favors they needed, so we should praise, thank Him, and implore Him for what we need.

• Cuanto más ardiente sea el amor a la Eucaristía en el corazón del pueblo cristiano, más claramente reconocerá el objetivo de toda misión: llevar a Cristo a los demás. No sólo una teoría o un estilo de vida inspirado en Cristo, sino el don de su misma persona. Quien no ha compartido la verdad del amor con sus hermanos y hermanas no ha dado todavía lo suficiente.

  Pope Benedict XVI

• Pero miren a los hombres que tienen esas nociones pervertidas acerca de la gracia de Jesucristo que ha llegado hasta nosotros, y vean cuán contrarios a la mente de Dios son. . . . Incluso se abstienen de la Eucaristía y de las oraciones públicas, porque no admiten que la Eucaristía sea el mismo cuerpo de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo que la carne padeció por nuestros pecados, y que el Padre de su bondad resucitó.

  Ignatius of Antioch

• The Eucharist had so powerful an attraction for the Blessed Virgin that she could not live away from It. She lived in It and by It. She passed her days and her nights at the feet of her Divine Son... Her love for her hidden God shone in her countenance and communicated its ardor to all about her.

• You also realize, Venerable Brothers, that the Eucharist is reserved in churches or oratories to serve as the spiritual center of a religious community or a parish community, indeed of the whole Church and the whole of mankind, since it contains, beneath the veil of the species, Christ the invisible Head of the Church, the Redeemer of the world, the center of all hearts, 'by whom all things are and by whom we exist'.

  Papa Pablo VI

• O Mary! teach us the life of adoration! Teach us to see, as thou didst, all the mysteries and all the graces in the Eucharist; to live over again the Gospel story and to read it in the light of the Eucharistic Life of Jesus. Remember, O our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, that thou art the Mother of all adorers of the Holy Eucharist

• The historic transition from Novice to Proficient to Adept was said to be accomplished virtually overnight by the progression from marijuana to peyote to lysergic acid. Instant mysticism had arrived. Before the court of law, hippies demanded freedom for LSD the way early Christians demanded freedom for the Eucharist.

• The Eucharist is the life of the people. The Eucharist gives them a center of life. All can come together without the barriers of race or language in order to celebrate the feast days of the Church. It gives them a law of life, that of charity, of which it is the source; thus it forges between them a common bond, a Christian kinship
