"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you; for on him has God the Father set his seal."
--John, 6:27.
"Let us, then, with full confidence, partake of the Body and Blood of Christ. For in the figure of bread His Body is given to you, and in the figure of wine His Blood is given to you, so that by partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, you might become united in body and blood with Him."
--St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (ca. A. D. 350).

"But I am also true mother of the Eucharist, because Jesus becomes truly present, at the moment of the consecration, through your priestly action...which transforms the matter of the bread and the wine into the body and the blood of Christ [making] possible for Him this new and real presence of his among you."--After recitation of the holy rosary, message given verbally by Mary
to Fr. Stefano Gobbi.
