Unity among ourselves only lasts because of the Eucharist

Be united with one another, and God will bless you.  But let it be by the charity of Jesus Christ, for any union which is not sealed by the blood of Our Savior cannot perdure.  It is therefore in Jesus Christ, by Jesus Christ, and for Jesus Christ that you ought to be united with one another.  The Spirit of Jesus Christ is a spirit of union and of peace.  How can you attract people to Christ if you are not united with one another and with him?

Saint Vincent de Paul

Weak but love by You, O God

We are weak, O God, and capable of giving in at the first assault. By your pure loving kindness you have called us; may your infinite goodness, please, now help us persevere.  For our part, with your holy grace, we will try with all our strength to summon up all the service and all the faithfulness that you ask of us. So give us, O God, give us the grace to persevere until death. This is what I ask of you through the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ with confidence that you will remember me.

Saint Vincent de Paul

Prayer is our nature

Prayer is more essential to us, more an integral part of ourselves, than the rhythm of our breathing or the beating of our heart. Without prayer there is no life. Prayer is our nature. As humans we are created for prayer just as we are created to speak and to think. The human animal is best described, not as a logical or tool-making animal or an animal that laughs, but rather as an animal that prays, a eucharistic animal, capable of offering the world back to God in thanksgiving and intercession. (Bishop Kallistos Ware)
