At the Shrine of Mary (Annai Velangkanni) in Medan, Sumatra, IndonesiaNo precept could be more lovable. For this sacrament of the altar begets love and unity. Is it not the greatest proof of divine love that Christ gives himself as food? It is as though he were saying, “I love them so much, and them me, that I want to be within them, and they want to receive me so as to be one body with me.”
Saint Albert the Great
