"Who we
love shapes what we become." - St Clare of Assisi
When St Margaret Mary Alacoque left the world and consecrated herself
to God
in the cloister,
she made a private vow and wrote in her blood,
"All for the Eucharist,
nothing for
me."
It is useless to attempt to describe the Saint's burning love for the Eucharist.
When she was not able to receive
Holy Communion, she broke
out
in ardent
expressions of love like these:
"I have such a desire for
Holy Communion that if
I had to walk barefoot along
a path of fire to obtain It,
I would do so with
unspeakable joy."
Excerpt from Jesus, Our Eucharistic Love (Fr Stefano Manelli)
