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.
