Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

Our Lord Didn't Mince Words

whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."

    The awe-inspiring implications of those words!

    By the way, isn't that the picture they put on the cover of Magnificat for June? My dear MIL got a year's subscription for me and it seems like the image is familiar. Quite appropriate to have such abundance all around the Host and Chalice. LOVELY!
