"Many run to sundry places to visit the relics of the saints, and are astonished to hear their wonderful works; they behold the noble church buildings and kiss their sacred bones, wrapt up in silk and gold.
"And behold I have Thee here present on the altar, my God, the Saint of saints, the Creator of man, and the Lord of angels.
..."But here, in the Sacrament of the Altar, Thou art wholly present, my God, the man Jesus Christ, where also the fruit of eternal salvation is plentifully reaped, as often as Thou art worthily and devoutly received."
THE IMITATION OF CHRIST
Thomas A' Kempis
