Perfect, personal union

"A wonderful example of perfect union
He offers us, heaven knows!
He united Himself with our human nature
from the first, engrafting it on to His, so that
to some extent it might share His life....



Then, so that all men individually might be
intimately united to His goodness--not merely
human nature as such--He instituted the sacrament
of the Holy Eucharist, which each can share
and so achieve personal union with the Savior."
St. Francis de Sales

  2. Thank you, d.s. - I have been sending daily Eucharistic reflections for a few years via email - and just recently am archiving them as well in this blog. It's very simply - and so glad to know you think 'beautiful' too.
