In the Eucharist the Church enters into this total self-giving of Christ

"In the Eucharist the Church enters into this total self-giving of Christ, and we individually attempt to enter into it as fully as possible. Merely to go through the motions of the Mass without this serious and complete gift of self would simply be hypocrisy" 

˜ (J. Emminghaus, Eucharist: Essence, Form, and Celebration, 2nd ed. Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 1978, xxi)


"To condescend to the humblest duties, and to devote oneself to the lowliest service is an exercise of humility: for thus one is able to heal the disease of pride and human glory."

- Decretal on Penance (D. II., cap. Si quis semel)
