"And whence comes our pride if
not from our forgetfulness of the Eucharist - that pride which finds cause for self-exaltation in the graces received, in
the gifts of God, in our circle of holy and virtuous friends, or inthe influence we perhaps exercise on souls? Are you affected
with this pride when you communicate, when you feel within you the presence of Jesus, Who says to you, 'What! You exalt yourselves
with the dignities and the graces I have given you, with the privileged love I bear you! But see, I annihilate Myself. Do
at least as I do.'" - Saint
Peter Julian Eymard

Robert Bellarmine
