"I adore and venerate You as much as ever I can,
though my love is so cold, my devotion so poor.
Thank You for the good gift of this Your
holy Body and Blood, which I desire to receive...
that which You promised through Your truth,
that my joy may be full…"
that my joy may be full…"

"O God our God, grant us grace to desire you with a whole heart,
so that desiring you we may seek and find you;
and so finding you, may love you;
and loving you may hate those sins which separate us from you,
for the sake of Jesus Christ." ~ St Anselm
"From the moment of her fiat
Mary began to carry all of us in her womb." ~ St Anselm
