Christum regem adoremus dominantem gentibus, qui se manducantibus dat spiritus pinguedinem.

Let us adore Christ, The King, Who ruleth the Nations; Who giveth fatness of spirit to them that eat Him.

The bright Octave, Consecrated to the glory of The Blessed Sacrament, closes today, and, although we began the subject three days before the Feast, itself, we have been able to do little more than slightly touch upon the sublime subject proposed for our consideration and love by The Church.

The Memorial left us by Our Lord of all His wondrous mercies [Psalm cx. 4] far exceeds the measure of our poor thoughts, and the capabilities of human language; such is the extremity of the infinite love, which God bears to His own creatures, that no possibility of ours could make it a return such as it deserves.

Eternal Wisdom was, even from His Father’s bosom, betrothed to human nature. He came down into this world, which sin had marred, and there He found man, who had become the slave of sin.
