March 19th
St Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868), Confessor; Grenoble, France; Feast day August 2nd

"Jesus has prepared not just one Host, but One for every day of our life.  The Hosts for us are ready.  Let us not lose the benefits we can gain by neglecting to receive even One of Them."

Cure of Ars (1786-1859), Confessor; Dardilly, France; Feast day August 8th

"Every consecrated Host is made to burn Itself up with love in a human heart."

"Oh, how bitterly shall we regret at the hour of death the time we have given to pleasures, to useless conversations, to repose, instead of having employed it in mortification, in prayer, in good works, in thinking of our poor misery, in weeping over our poor sins; then we shall see that we have done nothing for Heaven.  Oh, my children, how sad it is!  Three-quarters of those who are Christians labor for nothing but to satisfy this body, which will soon be buried and corrupted, while they do not give a thought to their poor soul, which must be happy or miserable for all eternity.  They have neither sense nor reason: it makes one tremble."
