As Jesus has chosen bread, which is very common, so must my life be, common … approachable by all and, at the same time, humble and hidden, like bread.
Blessed Eugenia Picco
Saint of the Day Quote: Blessed Eugenia Picco
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
From the homily of JPII:
The Eucharist was Eugenia’s main support, the vital fulcrum of her interior life and of all her work and apostolic activity; it was her great love, the centre of her piety, the food, comfort and joy of her days filled with prayer and fatigue. Christ instilled in her his zeal for the salvation of souls, his burning desire to lead all to the House of the Father. It was her constant love for Christ, burning within her, that explains her constant charitable activity.
