“But He does more than say to adore Him. ‘Take and eat, take and drink: for this is My Body, this is My Blood. They have been given for you.’ We are allowed to receive Christ’s bodily presence within us, His Body and Blood mingling with our own, His perfect humanity reforming our cracked humanity, His divinity slowly making us divine. Before the Last Supper, this was an intimacy that not even the Apostles had. This is a privilege that, even now, the angels do not share. You take within your mouth the God Who lit the stars. Consider well what it is that you do at the altar rail, and prepare your soul for Him with much care and love.”

–That would be Dappled Things.
