"St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta,
an exceptional religious who no one would dare regard as a
traditionalist, fundamentalist or extremist, whose faith, holiness and
total gift of self to God and the poor are known to all, had a respect
and absolute worship of the Divine Body of Jesus Christ. Certainly, she
daily touched the 'flesh' of Christ in the deteriorated and suffering
bodies of the poorest of the poor.

And yet, filled with wonder and
respectful veneration, Mother Teresa refrained from touching the
transubstantiated Body of Christ. Instead, she adored Him and
contemplated Him silently, she remained at length on her knees and
prostrated herself before Jesus in the Eucharist. Moreover, she received
Holy Communion in her mouth, like a little child who has humbly allowed
herself to be fed by her God."
