"A little episode in the life of St
Benedict is very beautiful.
One day during Holy Mass, as soon
as the words 'This is My Body'
had been uttered, St
Benedict heard a response coming
from the newly consecrated Host: 'And also yours, Benedict!'
True participation at Holy Mass should
make us
victims
(hosts) in company with the Divine Victim. "
