The lines have
fallen for me in pleasant places;
yea, I have a
goodly heritage.
... in thy presence there is fullness
of joy... - Psalm 16:
6,11b
"The devotion to the Eucharist
is
the most
noble
because
it has God as its object;
it is
the most
profitable for
salvation,
because
it gives us the Author of
Grace;
it is the sweetest,
because
the Lord is Sweetness Itself."
