More Wisdom from Saint Claude de la Colombière

Jesus is in the midst of us in the Blessed Sacrament. What a consolation to live in the same house where he dwells! Yet does it not often seem as though we ignored this happiness? Do we often visit him? Do we go to him in our needs and consult him in our plans? Do we bring him our little sorrows instead of talking about them and complaining and murmuring to others? ‘Among you stands one whom you do not know’ ( Jn 1:26).

—ST. CLAUDE DE LA COLOMBIÈRE
