“The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we being many, are one bread, one body, all who partake of one bread…

“For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord until he come.

“Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord… not discerning the body of the Lord.

 (I Corinthians x, 16-17, xi, 26-29)

The Catholic eBooks Project

Provides a library of links to Christian ebooks and texts that may be read online or downloaded LEGALLY and for FREE, and are FAITHFUL to the truths that God entrusted to His one true Church.

The Project is dedicated to the Incarnate Logos:

“In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum… Et Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis… gratia et veritas per Jesum Christum facta est.” (S. Joannem i, 1, 14, 17)

“Ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur… et regnabit in domo Jacob in æternum, et regni ejus non erit finis.” (S. Lucam i, 31-33)

Prayer for the Church

O God, our refuge and our strength, look down with mercy upon the people who cry to Thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Saint Joseph her spouse, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, in Thy mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the liberty and exaltation of the Holy Mother the Church. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. (From the text of the Leonine Prayers after Low Mass at Sancta Missa)
