Hello everyone,

I plan on putting together some quotes for meditation. If you have any quotes that you like about the Mass and the Eucharist, etc… Please post them. Thank you and I look forward to seeing all the good quotes that you have.

Two are my favorites: Epiclesis (calling upon the Holy Spirit): homeofthemother.org/sections/spiritual-life/the-eucharist/explaining-the-mass/the-epiclesis

EP IV: “Father, we acknowledge your greatness: all your actions show your wisdom and love. You formed man in your own likeness and set him over the whole world to serve you, his creator, and to rule over all creatures. Even when he disobeyed you and lost your friendship you did not abandon him to the power of death, but helped all men to seek and find you. Again and again you offered a covenant to man, and through the prophets taught him to hope for salvation.”

Here’s a short one. I forgot where it came from:

God doesn’t love us if we change; God loves us so we can change.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Should you take me in my youth, be blessed;
should You let me live to a ripe old age, be blessed.
Should You give me health and strength, be blessed;
should You confine me to a bed of pain for my whole life, be blessed.
Should You give only failures and disappointments in life, be blessed.
Should You allow my purest intentions to be condemned, be blessed.
Should You enlighten my mind, be blessed.
Should You leave me in darkness and all kinds of torments, be blessed.

St Faustina

“How many of you say: I should like to see His face, His garments, His shoes. You do see Him, you touch Him, you eat Him. He gives Himself to you, not only that you may see Him, but also to be your food and nourishment."

• St. John Chrysostom
