The Great Presence



“A cloud of incense was rising on high; the people suddenly all bowed low; what could it mean? 
The truth flashed on him, fearfully yet sweetly; 
it was the Blessed Sacrament – it was the Lord
Incarnate who was on the altar, who had come
to visit and bless His people.  It was the
Great Presence, which makes a Catholic Church
different from every other place in the world,
which makes it, as no other place can be – holy.”


Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman,
Loss and Gain:  The Story of a Convert
