For
with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light. - Psalm
36:9
“If the Blessed
Sacrament is Jesus all for us,
is it not the most
legitimate of conclusions that we should be all for
Him?
We should be all for Jesus,
if Jesus is our all.
And what does this
mean?
Surely, among other things,
that the Blessed
Sacrament
should be to us
just
the single
overpowering fact of the world.
Our
hands hold Him; our words make Him;
our tongue rests Him;
our body
compasses Him; our souls feel Him; our flesh feeds upon Him,
Him, the
Infinite, the Incomprehensible, the Immense, the Eternal.
Must not all life
be looked at in this light,
just as the whole Church
lies in this light and has no other?"
