“It seems that, after nineteen centuries of extraordinary glorification, the small Host for which so many cathedrals have sprung up, the small Host that has rested in millions of breasts and that has found a tabernacle and worshippers even in the desert - it seems that the triumphant Host of Lourdes and the Eucharistic Congresses of Chicago and Carthage remains as unknown, as secret as when it appeared for the first time in a room in Jerusalem.

“The man who partakes in the breaking of the bread dares to build his house on the very core of love. He becomes, as it were, Godlike, but regardless of the strength he derives from it, his free will remains. We are always free to disown this immense grace, to abuse it.

Fed on the Living Bread, we nevertheless conceal a part of ourselves which longs for swine's food.” MenMayHouseGraceHe ManAbuseRemainsDareCoreBreadFedsFree WillImmenseNeverthelessSacramentsBetrayedGreatest LoveGodlikeSwine Author:Francois Mauriac
