The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that life is not always smooth or graceful like dancing; rather, it can be chaotic and challenging, similar to a wrestling match.

Just as in wrestling, one must face conflicts and grapple with them strategically, applying determination and skill to emerge victorious.

Do you wish to learn the secret of true Eucharistic prayer? Consider, then, all the mysteries in the light of the Blessed Sacrament. It is a divine prism through which they can all be studied. The Holy Eucharist is, indeed, 'Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today, and the same forever' (Heb 13:8). In this Sacrament He glorifies all the mysteries of His life and prolongs, as it were, the exercise of all His virtues. The Eucharist is, in a word, the great Mystery of our faith to which all Catholic truths lead.
