"It is
His will to rise from the dead in our lives and
to come back
to
the
world in His risen Host-life." - Caryll
Houselander
"Every day,
every hour, Christ is born on the altar
in the hands of the priest.
Christ is lifted up and sacrificed;
Christ is buried in the tomb of the
human heart
and Christ rises from the tomb to be
the life of the world
through His Communion with
men.
This is the Host-life.... Everything
relates to the Host. ...
Living the
Christ-life means that we are given the power
of Christ's love. We are not only trustees of God's love for man,
entrusted to give it out second-hand, but
miraculously,
our love IS
His love!
"I have bestowed my love upon you,
just as my father has bestowed
his love upon me; live on, then, in
my love." (John XV.9.)
Caryll Houselander

Passion of the Infant Christ
