The Heart of Jesus therefore lives in the Eucharist,
since His body is alive there. It is true that we can neither feel nor see that
divine Heart, but things are pretty much the same for all men. This principle
of life must be mysterious and veiled; to uncover it would kill it. We can
conclude to its existence only from the effects it produces. A man does not ask
to see the heart of a dear friend; one word is enough to tell him of his love.
But how will the divine Heart of Jesus make itself known? It manifests itself
to us by the sentiments with which it inspires us; that should suffice.
Besides, who could contemplate the beauty and the goodness of the divine Heart?
Who could stand the brightness of its glory, the consuming and devouring flames
of this fire of love? Who would dare look at this divine Ark, on which is written its gospel of love
in letters which its love has its throne, and its goodness all its treasures?
Who would want to penetrate into the very sanctuary of the Godhead? The Heart
of Jesus! Why, it is the heaven of heavens, in which God Himself dwells and
finds His delights!
No! We do not see the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus! But
we possess it; it is ours!"
