"May
the burning and most sweet power of Your love,
O Lord Jesus Christ, I beseech You, absorb my
mind
that
I may die through love of Your love, Who were graciously
pleased
to die through love of my
love." - St. Francis
Meditation
of St. Francis of Assisi
Let
everyone be struck with fear,
the whole world tremble,
and the heavens exult
when Christ, the Son of the living God,
is present on the altar in the hands of a priest!
the whole world tremble,
and the heavens exult
when Christ, the Son of the living God,
is present on the altar in the hands of a priest!
O wonderful loftiness
and stupendous dignity!
O sublime humility!
O humble sublimity!
The Lord of the universe,
God and the Son of God,
so humbles Himself
that He hides Himself
for our salvation
under and ordinary piece of bread!
See the humility of
God, brothers,
and pour out your hearts before Him!
and pour out your hearts before Him!
Humble
yourselves that you may be exalted by Him!
Hold back
nothing of yourselves for
yourselves,
that He Who gives Himself totally to you
may receive you totally!
that He Who gives Himself totally to you
may receive you totally!
