“O Jesus Christ
true God and true Man! My soul rejoices to find You in the Blessed Sacrament,
You the uncreated God who became man, a creature! In this sacrament, O Christ,
I find both Your humanity and Your divinity; from Your humanity I rise to Your
divinity; and from it I go back to Your humanity. I see Your ineffable divinity
which contains all the treasures of wisdom, of knowledge, of incorruptible
riches. I see the inexhaustible fountain of delights which alone can satisfy
our intelligence. I see Your most precious soul, O Jesus, with all the virtues
and gifts of the Holy Spirit, a holy and unspotted oblation; I see Your sacred
Body, the price of our redemption; I see Your Blood, which purifies and
vivifies us; in brief, I find treasures which are so precious and so great that
I cannot comprehend them.”
(St. Angela of Foligno, from Divine Intimacy: Meditations on the
Interior Life for Every Day of the Liturgical Year. by Fr.
Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.)
