St. John Eudes, Priest (1601-1680)
“I ask you to consider that our Lord Jesus Christ is your true head, and that you are one of his members. He belongs to you as the head belongs to its members; all that is his is yours: his spirit, his heart, his body and soul, and all his faculties. You must make use of all these as of your own, to serve, praise, love, and glorify God. You belong to him, as members belong to their head. And so he longs for you to use all that is in you, as if it were his own, for the service and glory of the Father.” (St. John Eudes, The Admirable Heart of Mary, Chapter 5)
August 19 is the Optional Memorial of St. John Eudes, Priest (1601 – 1680).
