Christ the Grain of Wheat

Dear friends, let us once again be filled with wonder by Christ’s words. He, a grain of wheat scattered in the furrows of history, is the first fruits of the new humanity, freed from the corruption of sin and death. And let us rediscover the beauty of the Sacrament of the Eucharist which expresses all God’s humility and holiness. His making himself small, God makes himself small, a fragment of the universe to reconcile all in his love. May the Virgin Mary, who gave the world the Bread of Life, teach us to live in ever deeper union with him.

~ Pope Benedict XVI

The Heaven of Our Souls

Our Lord dows not come down from Heaven every day to lie in a golden ciborium.  He comes to find another heaven which is infinitely dearer to Him -- the heaven of our souls, created in His Image, the living temples of the Adorable Trinity.

~ St. Therese of Lisieux
