He could not satisfy his love by giving himself entirely to the human race by his Incarnation and by his Passion, dying for all people. He sought to find a way to give himself entirely to each one of us in particular; and so he instituted the sacrament of the altar in order to unite himself fully with each one of us: “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them” (Jn 6:56).
Saint Alphonsus Liguori

    This is wonderfully good quote about the incarnation. The idea of Jesus giving himself entirely for each one of us.
