– “Many grains of wheat are ground and kneaded together to make but one single loaf, a loaf which is made from all those grains which, though once separated, can no longer ever be separated or distinguished individually. In the same way, those early Christians had so fervent a love for each other that their hearts were all holily blended as one… What built that great union among them was none other than the most Holy Communion.” - Saint Francis de Sales, Sermon given on February 27, 1622, the Third Sunday of Lent
