Doves and the Eucharist: 2011

Lord, giver of all things, give to us our daily bread.

If I have not love, I am nothing. (St. Paul)

Bouasse Lebel

Living bread which came down from heaven

to give us life, have mercy upon us.

Bouasse Lebel

All who thirst, come to the Source

whose waters spring up from eternal life.

Bouasse Lebel, Paris #460

Bread of our Soul

Come, eat the bread prepared for you.

In the eastern rite the priest approaches the Altar of Sacrifice with the words, "Now is the time for God to act." These words remind the faithful that in the Liturgy the substance of bread and wine is changed by the action of the Spirit into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and that, as we receive the Energy of the Triune God in the Mystery of the Blessed Sacrament, it is the Sanctifier who acts to change our very being, restoring in us the Image of that which we receive.

I am the Bread of Life. Whoever comes to me will not hunger.

John 4:35

Source of Life, delicious beverage, you give immortality.

The treasure of the earth.

Turgis

Let us quench our thirst at the source of graces.

There, recollected and alone,

in the Heart of Jesus I lose myself.

Letaille

You want to give me to eat
the heavenly meat and the bread of angels
which is none other than yourself, O my God!

The Eucharist is the Life of the World.
Do not try to fight against the violence of the waves, rather retire to the quiet on the bank of our holy Eucharistic Shrine. Bonamy
