The Eucharist is the secret of my day. It gives strength and meaning to all my activities of service to the Church and to the whole world. . . .

Seek him without tiring, welcome him without reserve, love him without interruption: today, tomorrow, forever.

You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.
