By virtue of love is the lover transformed in the beloved and the beloved transformed in the lover.

This Sacrament really contains You, O my God, You whom the Angels adore, in whose presence the Spirits and mighty Powers tremble. Oh! if we could only see You clearly as they do, with what reverence would we approach this Sacrament, with what humility would we receive You.

Without humility of heart all the other virtues by which one runs toward God seem - and are - absolutely worthless.

Humility exists only in those who are poor enough to see that they possess nothing of their own.

Our perfection certainly consists in knowing God and ourselves.

By virtue of love is the lover transformed in the beloved and the beloved transformed in the lover.

It is the Sacrament of Love that excites the soul to ardent prayer. It stirs up the virtue of impetration and, as it were, forces God to grant our petition. It deepens the abyss of humility, above all it enkindles the flame of love in the heart; hence the Sacrament is the Gift of gifts, and the Grace of graces
