The Inseparable Light, Heat, and Colour of the Sun

At the chapel of the Redemptoristine community in Bangkok, Thailand

The Body is, as it were, a Sun. Wherefore, you cannot receive the Body without the Blood, or the Blood or the Body without the Soul of the Incarnate Word, nor the Soul, nor the Body, without the Divinity… So that you receive the whole Divine Essence in that most Sweet Sacrament concealed under the whiteness of the bread; for as the sun cannot be divided into light, heat, and colour, the whole of God and the whole of man cannot be separated under the mantle of the host.
Saint Catherine of Siena
