Excerpt from the book Meditations for all the Days of the Year - Let us adore the immense love of Jesus Christ in giving us the Eucharist. He loved us from the beginning of time, in the long premeditations of eternity. He loved us when creating us, when preserving us, when becoming incarnate, at His birth in the crib and at His death on the cross, but He loved us incomparably more when instituting the Eucharist; it is therein, says St. John, that His love reached its extremest limits (John 13:1). Let us adore, let us praise, let us bless, let us love so much love, and let us beg Him to enable us to understand it.
