For
with you is the fountain of life; in your light
we see light. - Psalm 36:9
we see light. - Psalm 36:9
“If
the Blessed Sacrament is Jesus all for us,
is
it not the most legitimate of conclusions that
we should be all for Him?
We
should be all for Jesus, if Jesus is our all.
And
what does this mean?
Surely,
among other things,
that the Blessed Sacrament should be to us just
that the Blessed Sacrament should be to us just
the
single overpowering fact of the
world.
Our hands hold Him;
our words make Him;
our tongue rests Him;
our words make Him;
our tongue rests Him;
our
body compasses Him;
our souls feel Him;
our flesh feeds upon Him,
our souls feel Him;
our flesh feeds upon Him,
Him,
the Infinite, the
Incomprehensible,
the Immense, the Eternal.
the Immense, the Eternal.
Must
not all life be looked at in this light,
just
as the whole Church lies in this light and has no other?"
