March 11th
St Eulogius (d.859), Priest, Confessor; Cordova, Spain

"Ah! if you could but conceive the reward which waits for those who persevere in the faith to the end, you would renounce your temporal dignity in exchange for it."

Ven. Louis of Granada (1505-1588), Confessor; Granada, Spain

"Thine is the supreme and immutable good which is not contained by place, is not changed by novelties, does not pass away with time, and has no need of help from anyone.  It is sufficient unto itself; of itself it can do all things and in itself it finds all its delight.  Thine is that supreme goodness which is not reached by the senses because it is spiritual and eternal, but it is known with the intellect and enjoyed with the will and experienced with the heart.  It is sought by devotion, found by hope, embraced by charity, and will be possessed forever in glory."

St Pius X (1835-1914), Pope, Confessor; Reise, Italy; Feast day September 3rd

"Devotion to the Eucharist is the noblest of devotions, because it has God as its object.  It is the most profitable for salvation, because it gives us the Author of Grace.  It is the sweetest, because the Lord is Sweetness Itself."
