This responsibility applies particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals. -- Pope Francis
The Church and the world have a great need of eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love.

May our adoration never cease -- Pope John Paul II
This is a real presence which includes every dimension of who Jesus is: body and blood, human soul and divine person.
