Mother Teresa

The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth...

O Salutaris Hostia

O saving Victim, open wide
The gate of Heaven to us below,
Our foes press on ev'ry side;
Your aid supply, your strength bestow.

To your great name be enless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Thee;
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land to be. Amen

Orientalium Ecclesiarum

The faithful are bound to take part on Sundays and feast days in the Divine Liturgy or, according to the regulations or custom of their own rite, in the celebration of the Divine Office. That the faithful may be able more easily to fulfill their obligation, it is laid down that the period of time within which the precept should be observed extends from the Vespers of the vigil to the end of the Sunday or the feast day. The faithful are earnestly exhorted to receive Holy Communion on these days, and indeed more frequently-yes, even daily.
