“If you criticize the Church, you are simply criticizing yourself.”
“I think that many people do not fully understand the value of Mass, because if they recognized the enormous blessing we have in a Lord who gives himself as our food and drink in the Sacred Host, they would go to Mass every day to participate in the fruits of the sacrifice and let go of so many superfluous things.”
“Who can intercede more for us than a God who offers himself to God?

“The Lord Jesus took on flesh by choosing a poor fifteen-year-old girl as his mother and a carpenter as his adoptive father. When he was born, a lot of people refused to let him in because they didn’t know where to put him, but someone finally found him in a barn [which] was certainly better than a lot of houses that refuse to let the Lord in today or betray him, because he is received unworthily. A poor fifteen-year-old girl and a poor carpenter became the parents of God who chose poverty rather than riches. I think this is absolutely incredible.”

“God is always with us and will never abandon us. How can people grasp this truth? Throngs of people stand in interminable lines to buy tickets to rock concerts or soccer matches, but I don’t see crowds of people lined up outside church waiting to see Jesus in the Eucharist.”
“Perhaps people really haven’t yet understood! Jesus is present among us in his very Body just as he was during his mortal life among his friends. If we reflected on this seriously, we would never leave him alone in the tabernacles waiting for us with love, wanting to help us and to support us on our earthly journey.”
