The Saints Speak To Us About
The Awesome Power of
The Holy Mass

"The Sacrament of the Eucharist is far more powerful for the sanctification
of souls than all other spiritual means of grace,"
~ St. Denis


"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 alter 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."
~ St. John Chrysostom


"Not in vain do we at the holy mysteries make mention of the departed, and draw near on their behalf, beseeching the Lamb who is lying on the altar, who took away the sin of the world."

~ St. John Chrysostom


"The celebration of the Holy Mass
is as valuable as the death of Jesus on the Cross."
~ St. Thomas Aquinas


"Man should tremble, the world should vibrate,
all Heaven should be deeply moved
when the Son of God appears on the alter in the hands of the priest."
~ St. Francis of Assisi



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


"If the Angels could envy, they would envy us for Holy Communion."
~ St. Pope Pius X


Near the end of his life, St. Jerome was brought the Holy Viaticum.
The saint immediately prostrated himself on the ground in adoration
as he was heard to utter the words of St. Elizabeth, and St. Peter,
"How is this, that my Lord should come to me?"
Luke 1:43
"Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord."
Luke 5:8



"Oh, if we could only understand Who is that God
Whom we receive in Holy Communion,
then what purity of heart we would bring to Him!"
~ St. Mary Magdalen of Pazzi


"The offering up of the Holy Mass benefits not only the saints for whom [in whose honor] it is said, but the whole Church of God in Heaven, on earth and in Purgatory."

~ St. John Vianny, The Cure' of Ars



"When we go before the Blessed Sacrament, let us open our heart; our good God will open His. We shall go to Him; He will come to us; the one to ask, the other to receive. It will be like a breath from one to the other,"

~ St. Jean Vianney.


"It would be easier for the earth
to carry on without the sun
than without the Holy Mass."
~ Blessed Padre Pio


"I Am The Bread of Life"
John 6:48

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
"How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them,

"Amen, amen I say unto you:
Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man,
and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you."
John 6: 52-54

"He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
abideth in me, and I in him.
John 6:55-56

"Just as the Father who has life sent me and I have life because of the Father,
so the one who feeds on me will have life because of me."
John 6:57

Then many of his disciples who were listening said, "This is hard; who can accept it?"
John 6:60

"But there are some of you who do not believe."
Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe
and the one who would betray him.
John 6:64

As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life
and no longer accompanied him.
John 6:66

Jesus then said to the Twelve,
"Do you also want to leave?"

Simon Peter answered him,
"Master, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life.
We have come to believe and are convinced
that you are the Holy One of God."
John 6:67-69






1 Corinthians 11:23-29
St. Paul writes:
"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, And giving thanks, broke, and said;

"Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me."

In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying:

"This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come."

Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgement to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord."
