How Can He Endure My Presence?

“Yes, Jesus shows all His sweetness in the Blessed Sacrament. But how can it be that a Majesty so great can endure the presence of so unworthy a creature? Does He not see my ingratitude; does He not see my heart? And yet Jesus bears with me and loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me, poor as I am, how can I not then love Him who is so rich and mighty?” –
(St. Gemma Galgani from Blessed Gemma Galgani by Benedict Williamson)
Tabernacle (3)
