Ask!

"’Eat my flesh,’ [Jesus] says, ‘and drink my blood.’ The Lord supplies
us with these intimate nutrients, he delivers over his flesh and pours
out his blood, and nothing is lacking for the growth of his children."
-St. Clement of Alexandria

 
The Coronation of Mary and the Glory of all the Saints - Elizabeth Wang (2003)


"Take my advice, and in every Mass ask God to make you a great saint.  Does this seem too much?  It is not too much.  Is it not our good Master who declares in the holy gospel that for a cup of cold water given out of love for him, he will, in return give paradise?  How then while offering to God the blood of his most blessed Son, should he not give you a hundred heavens, were there so many?
 
St Leonard
