Holding and being held...

 "Jesus has made Himself the Bread of Life to give us life.
Night and day, He is there. If you really want to grow in love,
come back to the Eucharist, come back to that Adoration."
St Teresa of Calcutta
 
 
 
“O Most Holy Trinity, You instituted this Sacrament
in order to obtain the object of Your love, that is,
to attract to Yourself the soul of Your creature,
and detaching it from all earthly things,
to unite it to Yourself, the uncreated God.
 
In doing this, You make it die to sin
and give it spiritual life, eternal life.
O Blessed Trinity, this Sacrament was instituted
by Your infinite goodness that we might be
united to You and You to us;
that we might receive You into ourselves
and be received by You;
that at the same time we might hold You
within ourselves and be held by You.
 
St. Angela of Foligno
