More wisdom from Emily Stimpson Chapman

When we have a headache or a backache, we run straightaway to the medicine cabinet and pop open a bottle of pills. But when we’re lost, confused, or in need of spiritual healing, so few of us run to the nearest tabernacle with the same confidence. We forget that the small white Host contains a healing power infinitely greater than the healing power in any pill. But it does. There is greater grace in Christ’s Eucharistic presence than our created minds can begin to fathom.

— Emily Stimpson Chapman
from The Catholic Table
