It became obvious why Catholics had built such beautiful cathedrals and churches throughout the world. Not as gathering or meeting places for Christians. But as a home for Jesus Himself in the Blessed Sacrament. Cathedrals house Jesus. Christians merely come and visit Him. The cathedrals and churches architecturally prepare our souls for the beauty of the Eucharist. Allen R. Hunt
About This Quote

This quote refers to how beautiful churches can be an excellent place to take a break from the busyness of everyday life. In the words of the poet, they “work to prepare our souls for the beauty of the Eucharist.” A church is a place where people go to worship God; homes are places where people go to relax and unwind. The cathedrals and churches architecturally prepare our souls for the beauty of the Eucharist.
