Bread of life Quote by Brian J Gail
““My precious young friends, the Bread of Life and Love is inseparable from the Gospel of Life and Love. The more there is devotion to the one, the more there is devotion to the other. The more damage to the one, the more damage to the other.” He paused and thundered, “We cannot have a holy Church with unworthy and sacrilegious Communions! We cannot have holy families with unworthy and sacrilegious Communions! We cannot have a holy people with unworthy and sacrilegious Communions! And make no mistake, America will not preserve its cherished freedoms unless we Catholics cherish and preserve the Eucharist.””
