Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood - Year C

Nothing compares to the purifying and healing action of the Eucharist. There is no other cure like it for our spiritual diseases. When you await the fruits of the Holy Mass you are already purified to a certain extent because you meet with the Eucharistic Christ through faith and hope.

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity - Year C

Each person’s life is a continuous dialogue with the Creator, a dialogue directed toward the truth. Regardless of whether or not we acknowledge it, the truth is that we are only creatures whose wealth is powerlessness. We are sinners whose only capital is spiritual misery. God wants us to acknowledge this truth, to place our powerlessness in front of His omnipotence, and to place our abyss of unfaithfulness in front of His unending mercy.
