Let humanity kneel in fear, let the whole universe tremble, and let heaven rejoice when Christ the Son of the Living God is on the altar in the hands of the priest!
O wonderful ascent, O stupendous descent! O sublimity, that the Lord of the Universe, God and Son of God, should so humbly hide himself, for our salvation, in what seems to be only a small piece of bread! Look, then, upon the humility of God! And pour out your hearts before him. Humble yourselves that he might exhalt you. Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves, that he may receive your all who gave his all to you.
Letter to the Whole Order

As for me, I wonder how much of the love God poured out on me that I somehow missed sight of because I was too caught up in the trials of the moment...it's like when the rain pours down from heaven, there's no way we can catch every drop in our hands...
