...He demanded the frequent reception of the sacraments. "Go to Communion, my Brothers, go to Jesus! Go and live by Him, so that you may live for Him!--Do not say you have too much to do--Did not our divine Savior say: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest? Could you resist this invitation?--Do not say you are not worthy of it--It is true, you are not worthy of it, but you need it.
He also said: "The soul can only be nourished with God! Only God can suffice it! Only God can fill it! Only God can satisfy its life! It has an absolute need of its God! In every home there is a place where the family provisions are stored. The Church is the home of souls. It is our own home, we who are Christians. Well! In this home there is a pantry. Do you see the tabernacle? If one were to ask the souls of Christians: What is that? your souls would answer: It is the pantry."
