St. Alphonsus Ligouri came often to the Poor Clare monastery of Nocera, near his Redemptorist convent in that city.  One wonders if what was published in his The True Spouse of Jesus Christ  was given first as sermons and conferences to the Poor Clares of Nocera:
“Jesus Himself in no ambiguous terms, pointed out the necessity of eating His Flesh and drinking His Blood that comes down from heaven; ‘not as your fathers did eat manna,’ and are dead. He that eats this bread will live forever.’  (John 6:59)
“Now from this comparison of the food of the angels with the bread and the manna, it was easily understood by His disciples that, as the body is daily nourished with bread, and as the Hebrews were daily nourished with manna in the desert, the Christian soul might daily partake of this heavenly food.”                                                     - page 568
