“…we hear them [those present during a
Eucharistic procession at Lourdes] saying to us, to every man and to every
woman among us: “Come, let the Master call you! He is here! He is calling you
(cf. Jn 11:28)! He wants to take your life and join it to His. Let yourself be
embraced by Him! Gaze no longer upon your own wounds, gaze upon His. Do not
look upon what still separates you from Him and from others; look upon the
infinite distance that He has abolished by taking your flesh, by mounting the
Cross which men had prepared for Him, and by letting Himself be put to death so
as to show you His love. In His wounds, He takes hold of you; in His wounds, He
hides you. Do not refuse His Love!”
(Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI)
