God is our salvation and our protection; Praise be to the King, in the name of the Lord! Peace be to heaven and glory to him in the highest!

All those who do the Father's will become Jesus' family, especially those who follow God's commandments...
Sunday, celebration of the Blessed Sacrament: an offering of peace and nourishment that unites the Eucharist; I am the living Bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord: whoever eats this Bread will live forever. Blood plays an important role in the human body: strength, life, nourishment, defence against disease. It was Christ's pleasure to offer his blood, shed on the cross, as the source of our eternal life. He said: unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you will not have life in you. Those who take communion receive new blood in life, the blood of the risen Lord, the blood that heals, purifies...
