(easter) John 6:50 “This is the Bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die.” THE quarter of the year from Ash-Wednesday to Trinity Sunday may fittingly be called the Sacramental Season, as the Season preceding it is the Season of grace; and as we are specially called in … Continue reading “THE EUCHARISTIC PRESENCE”
