Because we make profession of especially honoring the Holy
Eucharist, it does not follow that we should have less devotion to the Blessed
Virgin. Far from it! He would be guilty of blasphemy who would say: "As
for me, the Blessed Sacrament suffices. I have no need of Mary." Where
shall we find Jesus on earth if not in Mary's arms? Did she not give us the
Eucharist? Was it not her consent to the Incarnation of the Word in her pure
womb that inaugurated the great mystery of reparation to God and union with us,
which Jesus accomplished by His mortal life, and that He continues in the
Eucharist?
--St. Peter Julian Eymard, Month of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament
