O wonderful ascent, O stupendous descent! O sublime humility! O humble sublimity, that the Lord of the Universe, God and Son of God, should so humbly hide himself, for our salvation, in what seems to be only a small piece of bread! Look, then, upon the humility of God! And pour out your hearts before him. Humble yourselves that he might exhalt you. Hold back nothing of yourselves, that he may receive your all who gave his all to you.
St. Francis

And as Flannery O'Connor said, "Well, if it's a symbol, to hell with it." That's true. I've only been a practicing Catholic for almost 5 years. It's the Eucharist. Jesus giving me his all every day...I do have to give him my all, no matter how small and insignificant. He loves 'small' and 'little' things, done in and with great love. Delightful blog and beautiful post. God bless.
