In that first 'fusion' with Jesus (holy communion), it was my Heavenly Mother again who accompanied me to the altar for it was she herself who placed her Jesus into my soul.
- St. Therese of Lisieux
I acknowledge that the sacrament of the altar is very God's body in form of bread, but it is in another manner God's body than it is in heaven.
- John Wycliffe
The most beautiful of altars, he said, is the soul of an unhappy creature consoled and thankfing God.
- Victor Hugo
God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.
