And then there are those moments when he comes to us in the sacrifice of the holy mass, which unites us with his bloody cross, and in the holy communion, where he is already in glory, but where he continues to touch us with the wounds of his stigmata.
The moments when he comes to us in holy communion are like a "bodily eternity," where he holds us close to his heart and to his merciful suffering, to give our poor souls a share in the work of redemption.
(Cardinal Charles Journet /1891–1975/, correspondence)
