“Listen, my Brothers. If the Blessed
Virgin Mary is justly honored for having carried the Lord in her most chaste
womb, if St. John trembled at baptizing Him, not daring, as it were, to place
his hand on God’s Chosen One; if the tomb wherein Jesus reposed for a few hours
is the object of such veneration, then how worthy, virtuous, and holy ought he
to be who touches with his fingers, receives on his mouth and in his heart, and
administers to others, Christ, no longer mortal, but eternally triumphant and
glorious!” – St. Francis of Assisi
