       Catholic Forefather's witness to Truth.

     Venerable Philip Howard Earl of Arundel
                  Born June 28th 1557 Died in Tower of London Oct. 19th, 1595
              A Martyr for The Catholic Faith.

Wherein The Praises of All Creatures Are Offered up unto The Creator
(Written In The Tower Of London)

                            
                           O Christ, the glorious Crown
                               Of virgins that are pure;
                               Who dost a love and thirst for Thee
                           Within their minds procure;
                           Thou are the spouse of those
                           That chaste and humble be,
                           The hope, the life, the only help
                           Of such as trust in Thee.

                          All charity of those
                          Whose souls Thy love doth warm;
                          All simple pleasures of such minds
                          As think no kind of harm;
                          All sweet delights wherewith
                          The patient hearts abound,
                          Do blaze Thy name, and with Thy praise
                          They make the world resound.
                                                            LYRA MARTYRVM pg 50

                          Catholic Forefather

                                          Martyr for The Catholic Faith
                             Some of his recorded words before his death
"Christian people, I am come hither to die for the faith of Christ's Catholic Church. And I thank God, hitherto my stomach hash served me well thereto, so that yet hitherto I have not feared death. Wherefore I desire you help me, and assist me with your prayers, that at the very point and instant of my death's stroke, and in the very moment of my death, I faint not in any point of The Catholic Faith for any fear. etc.
Martyr for The Catholic Faith June 22nd 1535

                                         Saint Paschal Baylon, O.F.M.
                                        The Saint of the holy Eucharist
               A Sampling of Decree "Providentissimus Deus " Pope Leo XIII

Speaking of Saint Paschal Baylon as patron of all Eucharistic conferences; 
Now, in the glorious ranks of those, the ardor of whose piety towards the great Mystery of Faith was more evident and overflowing, Paschal Baylon holds a most prominent place; for, being gifted with a soul which aspired above all thing to Heaven, after having passed his youth in spotless innocence, tending flocks, he embraced a severer mode of life, entering the Order of Friars Minor of the Strict Observance, and from contemplation of the Holy Eucharist he derived that science and wisdom which placed him, though formally an unpolished and illiterate man, in a position to solve the most difficult questions of faith, and even to write learned and pious books. 
He likewise, having publicly and openly asserted the truth of the Eucharist among heretics, suffered many grievous persecutions, and imitating the martyr Tarsicius, he was also frequently threatened with death. Finally, he appears to have retained his great devotion even in death; for it is said that when lying on his bier, twice he opened his eyes at the Elevation of the two Sacred Species.

                                                    SANCT VENITE
                                            (From Ancient Irish Antiphon)
                                      Draw nigh, ye holy ones, draw nigh,
                                            And take the Body of the Lord ;
                                       And drink the Blood outpoured
                                     By which redeemed ye shall not die.

                                     The Giver of Salvation He,
                                         The Christ, the Son of God above,
                                         Restored unto His Father's love
                                     The world,by Blood and by the Tree.

                                     From north to south, from west to east,
                                         For all the sacrifice is given--
                                         For all is slain the Lord of heaven,
                                     Himself the Offering and the Priest.

                                     Read well the story through and through
                                        Of victims bleeding at the shrine,
                                        Types of a Mystery more divine,
                                     And shadows of a Truth more true:

                                                                  D. F. M 'Carthy, Lyra Hibernica Sacra

               I Love you Jesus in The Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

The Holy Communion of The Blessed Virgin


St. Paul speaks of the institution of the Holy Eucharist
with more detail than any of the four Evangelists
see 1st Corinthians chapter XI 23-29
These words "Take ye, and eat; this is my body"
and
"This chalice is the new testament in my blood"
Understood in their true meaning, literally and without metaphor, are to human understanding an impenetrable mystery. That which Christ gave to His disciples was no longer bread, but His Body which was about to be sacrificed; the chalice contained His very Blood which was about to be shed. The Apostles did not ask:
"How can this be done?" 
In the fullness of their faith, realizing that Christ was Omnipotent , they believed His words and partook of His Body and His Blood under the appearances of bread and wine. In saying to His Apostles 
" this do for the commemoration of me," 
Christ gave to the Priesthood the power of reproducing and carrying on through-out all time, the holy sacrifice of the Mass. 
Mary, the Mother of Jesus, must have received holy Communion daily from hands of one of the Apostles, especially from St. John, the beloved disciple, with whom she abode after the Ascension of Christ into heaven.
