Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free. - John 8:32
"The Blessed Sacrament is God.
Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament
is simply divine worship.
is simply divine worship.
Turn it which way we will,
throw the light of love and knowledge
throw the light of love and knowledge
now on one side of it, now on another,
still the result is the same,
still the result is the same,
the one inexhaustible sweet fact
of the Real Presence.
of the Real Presence.
In the hands of the priest,
behind the crystal of the monstrance,
behind the crystal of the monstrance,
on the tongue of the communicant,
now, and for a thousand times,
now, and for a thousand times,
and almost at our will and pleasure,
there are the Hands and Feet,
there are the Hands and Feet,
the Eyes and Mouth,
the swift Blood and living Heart of Him
the swift Blood and living Heart of Him
whom Thomas touched and Magdalen was fain to touch,
the Soul that ... set the prisoners free."
Fr Frederick W Faber
