At Assumption Church in Phuket, Thailand

Communion is the sublime union of supreme wealth [of God] and poverty [of means]. And yet, how sad it is that habit, degenerating into routine, often prevents us from being attentive to the supernatural splendour of this infinite gift!
Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP (1877–1964)
