Evening Meditations for Low Saturday ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
“It was Thy wish, in short,” says St. Laurence Justinian, ” 0 God, enamoured of our souls, to make by means of this Sacrament, Thine own Heart, by an inseparable union, one and the same heart with ours!” St. Bernardine of Sienna adds that” the gift of Jesus Christ to us as our food was the last step of His love, since He gives Himself to us in order to unite Himself wholly with us, in the same way as food becomes united with him who partakes of it.”
