"When I was still a child" - she testified - "and before I was old enough
to receive Jesus in Communion, I used to rush to the front door to greet my
mother when she returned from Mass. There I stood on tiptoe to reach up to her and cried, 'I want God too!'
My mother would bend down and softly breathe
on my lips; I immediately left her, and placing my hands across my chest, full
of joy and faith, jumping for joy I would keep repeating: 'I have received God
too! I have received God too!' "
Blessed
Maria Candida of the Eucharist, O.C.D (1884-1949)
