«Blessed Jesus, we know, he died one day, and he died that day for everyone. His death, amid atrocious sufferings, had the power to redeem all men. But when at the Last Supper, he instituted the sacrament that kept alive the memory of his love for us, he reached the extreme limits of affectionate delicacy. He wanted his Sacrifice to be perpetually, incessantly (as long as time lasts) renewed. Notice the almost unbelievable finesse of his Love. Saying: Do this in remembrance of me, He thought of each one of us, of all the individual faithful who from the first apostles would have succeeded in the centuries until the expiration of the centuries, and He wished that each and every one in particular could - with a tear to the laws of time and distance - witness that scene in which Love and death gave each other the supreme kiss for the salvation of man: the tragic scene of Calvary»

Saint Paul VI to the Italian Catholic Action, April 25, 1977

«In a word: the Italian Catholic Action
must be, we could say, school of
holiness, in the footsteps of so many men and women,
young people and teenagers, who in the program
«prayer, action and sacrifice» have
found the way of their generous fidelity
and even heroic to the Lord».
