The Bible and the Eucharist

The Bible and Eucharist

“The Bible,” Blessed Alberione teaches us, “is the great Sacrament of the Word of God. Beneath its pages flames the Divine Fire of the Holy Spirit just as, under the sacramental appearances, lives the Divine Person of Christ. Just as the person who receives the Holy Host is taking a heavenly nourishment of incomparable virtue, so the person who feeds of the words of the Bible feels springing up I hi soul a divine fire of ineffable activity which penetrates his soul and renews it spiritually.”
