Love compels His waiting...

Let your face shine on your servant;

save me in your steadfast love! - Psalm 31:16

 

"He loves, He hopes, He waits.

If He came down on our altars on certain days only,

some sinner, on being moved to repentance,

might have to look for Him,

and not finding Him, might have to wait.

Our Lord prefers to wait Himself

for the sinner for years

rather than keep him waiting one instant."

 

St. Peter Julian Eymard
