OUR LADY OF THE EUCHARIST
“It is labor; it is not only work-it is hard labor. But we wouldn’t be able to do it unless we had Mass and Holy Communion in the morning. I remember when the Prime Minister of Yemen asked for our Sisters to come there. I made only one condition: I can give you the Sisters only if you allow a priest to come. For without Jesus I cannot send them. He accepted. So now after 800 years there is Mass and Holy Communion in Yemen. There is a tabernacle in an area surrounded by Moslems who previously had not a sign of Christianity. Now there is a living God amongst them. I know I wouldn’t be able to work one week if it were not for the continual force coming from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
All of us know that unless we beleive and can see Jesus in the appearance of bread on the altar, we will not be able to see Him in the distressing disguise of the poor. Therefore, these two loves are but one in Jesus.” (Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta working for the poor)
