7th September - Blessed Eugenia Picco
As Jesus has chosen bread, which is very common, so must my life be, common … approachable by all and, at the same time, humble and hidden, like bread - Blessed Eugenia Picco.
The Eucharist was Eugenia's main support, the vital fulcrum of her interior life and of all her work and apostolic activity; it was her great love, the centre of her piety, the food, comfort and joy of her days filled with prayer and fatigue. Christ instilled in her his zeal for the salvation of souls, his burning desire to lead all to the House of the Father. It was her constant love for Christ, burning within her, that explains her constant charitable activity - St. Pope John Paul II.
