(St. Agatha's Parish, Canastota, NY)   If the brother of a king was far away, he certainly would long to live next to him. Well, Christ is our brother: hence we must desire His company, become one heart with him. – St. Thomas Aquinas  Audience of Pope Benedict XVI, June 23, 2010

Receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him whom we receive. Only in this way do we become one with Him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy. The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself ." Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
