“My God,” cried Moses, “show me, if it pleases Thee, Thy countenance, then I shall possess all things that I want.” How happy we Christians should be in the enjoyment of so many privileges which many others do not have! In the very presence of God is endless happiness for the good Christian—it is truly heaven upon earth!
When we contemplate all the things that God has made, heaven and earth and the wonderful order of creation, everything proclaims to us an almighty power which had created all things, a wonderful wisdom which rules over everything, a perfection in the highest degree which cares for everything with the same ease as if it had only one creature to occupy itself with.
But when we speak of the Most Holy Eucharist we can truly say that there is to be found no greater miracle of divine love for us. Here His majesty, His grace, and His goodness shine forth in a most extraordinary manner. This is the true bread which came down from heaven, the Bread of Angels that is given for the nourishment of our souls. Jesus Christ says: “Whosoever receives Me, will possess everlasting life, and he who does not receive Me, will die.”
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
