and this bread possessed all flavor.
O unheard of miracle. the Supreme Master makes of Himself
the food of the poor and miserable creature.
You have given them bread from heaven.
Containing all sweetness within it.
~ Prayer at Benediction
"When the bee has gathered the dew of heaven
and the earth's sweetest
nectar from the flowers,
it turns it into honey, then hastens to its
hive.
In the same way, the
priest, having taken from the altar
the Son of God (who is as the dew
from heaven,
and true son of Mary, flower of our humanity),
gives Him to you as delicious food."
~ St. Francis de Sales
