St. Augustine
  • What you see is the bread and the chalice that
    is what your own eyes report to you. But what
    your faith obliges you to accept is that the
    bread is the Body of Christ and the chalice the
    Blood of Christ. ... How is the bread His Body?
    And the chalice, or what is in the chalice, how
    is it His Blood? Those elements, brethren, are
    called Sacraments, because in them one thing is
    seen, but another is understood. What is seen is
    the corporeal species, but what is understood is
    the spiritual fruit. ... You, however, are the
    Body of Christ and His members.' If, therefore,
    you are the Body of Christ and His members, your
    mystery is presented at the table of the Lord,
    you receive your mystery. To that which you are,
    you answer Amen' and by answering, you
    subscribe to it. For you hear The Body of
    Christ!' and you answer Amen!' Be a member of
    Christ's Body, so that your Amen' may be the
    truth.

Liturgy and Justice
  • This holy Mass, this eucharist, is clearly an
    act of faith. This body broken and blood shed
    for human beings encourages us to give our body
    and blood up to suffering and pain, as Christ did
    not for self, but to bring justice and peace to
    our people. Let us be intimately united in faith
    and hope at this moment.
  • Archbishop Romero
  • There is not one of us, individually, racially,
    socially, who is fully complete in the sense of
    having in himself all the excellence of humanity
    I am not therefore not completely human until I
    have found myself in my African and Asian and
    Indonesian brother because he has the part of
    humanity which I lack.
  • Thomas Merton
  • The eucharistic table presents itself as the one
    place in our society where at least this much of
    Gods kingdom is anticipated where everyone is
    welcome, where those who are elsewhere unwelcome,
    outcasts, despised, oppressed, shunned, excluded
    are the most welcome of all.
