St. Francis de Sales-Our Savior has instituted the most august sacrament

By Catholic Digest on March 29, 2018

Thursday of Holy Week (Holy Thursday)

Our Savior has instituted the most august sacrament of the Eucharist, which contains his flesh and blood in their reality, so that whoever eats of it
shall live forever. Therefore, whoever turns to it frequently and devoutly so effectively builds up his soul’s health that it is almost impossible for him to be poisoned by evil affection of any kind.
