"Holy Mass is an
achievement of God, wherein He places
before
our
view all the love He has borne us. It is, in a certain
way,
a combination of all the
benefits bestowed upon us." -
St Bonaventure
“Grant that my soul
may hunger for You, the
Bread of Angels, the Refreshment of holy souls, our daily and ever-satisfying
Bread, which contains all possible sweetness. Let my heart ever hunger after You
and feed upon You, upon whom the angels desire to gaze, and may my whole soul be
filled with Your sweetness.
May it
ever thirst for You, the
Fountain of eternal light, the Torrent of pleasure, the Richness of the House of
God. May it ever yearn for You, seek You, find You, stretch towards You, reach You, meditate upon You, speak of You,
and do all things for the praise and glory of Your holy Name, with humility and
prudence, with love and delight, with willingness, affection and
perseverance.”
