Lord Jesus, you are in the Holy Eucharist. You are there, a yard away in the tabernacle. Your body, your soul, your human nature, your divinity, your whole being is there, in its twofold nature. How close you are, my God, my Saviour, my Jesus, my Brother, my Spouse, my Beloved!
You were not closer to the Blessed Virgin during the nine months she carried you in her womb than you are to me when you rest of my tongue at Holy Communion.
Blessed Charles de Foucauld (1858–1916)
