To become one...

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may

be one as we are one:  I in them and you in me.  May they be

brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me

and have loved them even as you loved me. - John 17:22, 23

"... Jesus hides in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar because He wants us to dare to approach Him. He wants to nourish us so we become one single thing with Him.

When He said, Apart from me you can do nothing, He was not condemning Christians to ineffectiveness or obliging them to seek Him by a difficult and arduous route. On the contrary... He has stayed here with us, He is totally available to us."

St Josemaria Escriva describes this experience

about himself as a young seminarian...

"Why am I becoming a priest? Our Lord wants something: what is it?  And in Latin — not very elegant Latin — … I kept repeating Domine, ut videam! Ut sit! Ut sit!  - The thing that you want, and that I don’t know — make it happen!”
