"It is God with us. It is the Lord Jesus present in the tabernacles of our churches with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. It is Jesus veiled under the appearance of bread, but really and physically present in the consecrated Host, so that He dwells in our midst, works within us and for us and is at our disposal. The Eucharistic Jesus is the true Emmanuel, the 'God with us.' (Mt. 1:23)

"With the Eucharist, God has truly given us everything. St. Augustine exclaimed: 'Although God is all powerful, He is unable to give more; though vastly rich, He has not more to give.' "
