I like this video very much. Jacques Maritain, Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Blessed John Paul II: great intellectuals of the twentieth century, who loved Jesus in his substantial Eucharistic Presence, with faith like little children. What a reminder: that faith and intelligence go together; that Jesus is there; that here we witness a great mystery and a great love.

How wonderful it is, indeed, that we have Eucharistic Adoration.

(Note in passing: Father Barron says, I think just by mistake, that Vatican II calls the liturgy the “source and summit” of the Christian life. This isn’t quite true. Actually, the Second Vatican Council calls the Eucharist the “source and summit” of the Christian life – as well as the sacrament to which all the others are ordered. Of course, the meaning is different. To place the liturgy – which concerns principally the virtue of religion, not principally the theological virtues – at the centre of the Christian life would, ultimately, be devastating. It’s Love that belongs at the centre, not religion. It’s the Eucharist that belongs at the centre.)
