“There is in every house a place where the provisions of the family are kept: the storeroom. The church is the house of souls. This house belongs to us who are Christians. Well, in this house there is a storeroom. Do you see this tabernacle? If one asks Christian souls, what is that? Your souls answer: “it is the storeroom. It is there that the Body and Blood of Jesus is, and this good Savior
says to us: ‘Take and eat . . . take and drink’.” A mortal man, a creature, feeds himself, satiates himself with his God, making of Him his daily
food and drink! O miracle of miracles! O love beyond all love! O happiness beyond all happiness!
I thank you, O my God, and I ask of you the grace to hunger always for this heavenly food.”
(St. John Marie Vianney Mediation 5 from The Eucharistic Meditations of the Cure D’Ars)
