When you have received Him, stir up your heart to do Him homage; speak to Him about your spiritual life, gazing upon Him in your soul where He is present for your happiness; welcome Him as warmly as possible, and behave outwardly in such a way that your actions may give proof to all of His Presence

- St. Francis de Sales

O Lord, we cannot go to the pool of Siloe to which you sent the blind man. But we have the chalice of Your Precious Blood, filled with life and light. The purer we are, the more we receive

- St. Ephraem

If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion

- St. Maximilian Kolbe

When the bee has gathered the dew of heaven and the earth’s sweetest nectar from the flowers, it turns it into honey, then hastens to its hive. In the same way, the priest, having taken from the altar the Son of God (who is as the dew from heaven, and true son of Mary, flower of our humanity), gives him to you as wholesome food.

- St. Francis de Sales

The culmination of the Mass is not the consecration, but Communion
God dwells in our midst, in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar

- St. Maximilian Kolbe
