Corpus Christi

"O gentle Father ... I beg of you that you will do mercy to the world and to the holy church. ...
Give them then the Bread of Life, that is, the fruit of the blood of your Son, which they ask of you for the praise and glory of your name and the salvation of souls."
--Saint Catherine of Siena




"O God, who in this wondrous sacrament has left unto us a memorial of your passion, grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of your body and blood, that we may ever continue to feel within ourselves the blessed fruit of your redemption."
--Saint Thomas Aquinas
