Preparation for Holy Communion, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Preparation for Holy Communion, Vol. 3

There is, first, the wonderful awe with which he hallows all his speech. This is so remarkable just because it is awe which familiarity seems to replenish instead of to dissolve or disturb. He is insisting on constant nearness to the Blessed Sacrament, he is surrounding It with incessant attention, with the routine of order and regular service, with accurate rules of preparation, with formal methods of intimacy. He himself is felt to be living, year by year, and day by day, in unfailing and familiar intercourse with Its Grace. It is to him necessary and near as his daily food.
