“The heavenly bread is Christ, Who came down from heaven and gave life to the world. This is the nourishment of the angels. The man who has found love eats and drinks Christ every day and hour and hereby is made immortal. ‘He that eateth of this bread,’ He says, ‘which I will give him, shall not see death unto eternity.’ Blessed is he who eats the bread of love, which is Jesus! He who eats of love eats Christ, the God over all, as John bears witness, saying, ‘God is love.’” - St. Isaac of Nineveh
On one occasion, the Lord said to me, "Why are you fearful and why do you tremble when you are united to Me? I am displeased when a soul yields to vain terrors. Who will dare to touch you when you are with Me? Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks". WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA (Diary 453)
“As a priest, one fills himself up with holiness; as a victim, one empties himself to service to mankind and the world. The increase of Christ in the soul of a priest is in direct relation to the decrease of self-will. The more I am occupied with Christ, the less I shall be occupied with myself. Humility is not directly cultivated. He who starts out resolved to be humble soon becomes proud that he is humble. Humility is a byproduct of the love of Christ. Emptiness as regards the self, is balanced by compassion for others. The less stress on the ego, the more care there is for neighbor.” Archbishop Fulton sheen (Those Mysterious Priests)
