Strana 321 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life ; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

Without reference to the One Perfect Example of infinite charity, we can scarcely imagine St. Paul repelling, when the disciples threw themselves upon his neck and wept, " sorrowing most of all that they should see his face no more.
Strana 88 - Who ever lay upon his death-bed, eternity opening before him, and the sentence of judgment awaiting him, and did not turn with thankfulness and love unutterable to the remembrance that, amidst all his manifold imperfections, he had been enabled, whilst his heart was yet untainted by grievous sin, to offer himself, his soul and body, to be ' a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice' to the Almighty Lord, by whose death he was redeemed ?
