Widen yourself in love...

"The soul must grow and expand, so as to be capable of God.

And its largeness is its love, as the Apostle says,

Widen yourselves in love (2 Cor 6:13)."  - St Bernard of Clairvaux

 

"You experience 

the intimate closeness of Jesus,

the sweetness and power of His presence.

You do not encounter Jesus

placed on an inaccessibly high throne,

but in the bread and wine of the Eucharist. 

His word does not shake the doorposts,

but rather caresses the strings of the heart." 

Pope Francis
