For you,
LORD, have never foresaken
those who seek you. - Psalm 9:10b
those who seek you. - Psalm 9:10b
"How do I prepare myself to receive the Host? I draw near with my soul, from the moment when I wake up. I call our for it with my lips, I attract it with my sighs, I long for it, I love it, and with a thousand acts of discipline, I prepare ... for it.
My chalice is full to the brim with this lowly blood, drawn and extracted out of love to mingle with His blood on the altar, my Immaculate Lamb, and together they are offered up to God’s throne, asking for grace.

Is it not an
undeserved happiness and favor to have an altar within and the freedom to
be able to do this for my Jesus without anybody knowing? My soul’s blood, its life fluid, is also for
Jesus. Power, feelings, and my life, I
place them all at the foot of the tabernacle.”
