The Most Blessed Sacrament: The Divine Gift of Gifts
“St. Catherine of Genoa so hungered for this heavenly bread that she could not see it in the priest’s hands without feeling as though she were dying of love, so great was her desire to possess it, and she would cry, ‘Ah! Lord, come into me! My God, come to me, I can bear it no longer! Ah! My God, come, if it please thee, into my inmost heart; no, my God, I can bear it no longer. Thou art my whole joy, my whole happiness, and the only food of my soul.’
“Happy the Christian who comprehends this. If we understood it even a little, we could only desire life so far as it meant the happiness of making Jesus Christ our daily bread. Created things would be nothing to us; we should despise them that we might cling to God alone. All we did and undertook would tend only to make us ever more worthy of receiving him.”
“When you go to Holy Communion you must always have an intention, and say, when you are on the point of receiving our Lord’s Body: ‘O my good Father, who art in heaven, I offer thee, at this moment, thy dear Son, as he was taken down from the Cross and laid in the arms of the Blessed Virgin, and offered by her to thee as a sacrifice for us. I offer him to thee by the hands of Mary to obtain such and such a grace: faith, charity, humility…’ My children, mark this well: whenever I obtained a grace, I asked it in this way, and it has never failed.”
St. John Vianney
