At the shrine of Mary Velangkanni in Medan, Indonesia

O celestial Bread, descended from the bosom of the Father, who remains on Your altars throughout the world, inviting all to come and feast on You, and enjoy You! … What do you require of the soul, but only that it should sigh after You and, confessing its sins, should beg You to come and dwell within it?
Saint John of Ávila
