“Pelican of mercy, Jesu, Lord and God, Cleanse me, wretched sinner, in Thy precious Blood:”

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

“So often as we come to receive this most blessed Sacrament, we must make accompt, that we come to lay our mouths to Christ’s very side, to drink of his most precious Blood, and to be partakers of this sovereign, and divine mystery.”

ST. CHRYSOSTOM

“For even from the very first hour, and instant of Thy most holy Conception, there was represented unto Thee, both the Cross, and withal all the cruel bitter pains, and torments, that Thou shouldest suffer upon the same: and so Thou hadst them all continually very lively set before Thine eyes all the days Thou didst live here on earth.”

VENERABLE LOUIS OF GRANADA

Our Blessed Lord had the Passion and Cross always set before his eyes. And so it should be for us, with the Mass always set before us in this life. It is there, at the Perpetual Sacrifice, that we are healed. And it is there, that we are taught by our Lord.

At the Judgement, we will see the true value and weight of the Mass. And then, were it possible, we would gladly suffer all the pains of the world to be poured upon us, all at once, just to attend and pray one more Mass. Fly now to the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

“Wherefore, O gracious God, O awful Majesty, I, a wretched creature, reduced to extremity, have recourse to Thee, the fount of mercy; I fly to Thee that I may be healed, and take refuge under Thy protection, and I ardently desire to have Him as my Saviour whom I am unable to withstand as my judge.” – St. Ambrose

Learn to fly.
