Quotes to ponder:
"... the deepest words of the spirit – words of love, gift, and faithfulness – call for an appropriate 'language of the body.' And without this language, they cannot be fully expressed." – TOB 104:7
“The Eucharist is a school of freedom and charity in order to fulfill the commandment to love. Jesus speaks to us in the wonderful language of the gift of self and of love to great as to give our own life for it. Is that an easy thing? You know very well that it is not. It is not easy to forget ourselves, but if we do, it draws us away from a possessive and narcissistic love and opens us up to the joy of the love that is self-giving. This Eucharistic school of freedom and charity teaches us to overcome superficial emotions in order to be rooted firmly in what is true and good. It frees us from attachment in order to open ourselves to others. Greater love has no man than this, than a man lay down his life for his friends.” – Pope St. John Paul II
