“When we go to visit the Blessed Sacrament we can say, in the literal meaning of the words, ‘I am in the presence of Jesus, I am in front of God.’ We can say this in just the same way as could have done those people, who filled with faith, encountered him on the roads and streets of Palestine. We too can say, ‘Lord, I look at the tabernacle and my sight, touch, and taste are all deceived…but my faith pierces through the veils that cover this little tabernacle and finds you there, truly present, waiting for me to make an act of faith, an act of love, or an act of thanksgiving…just as you patiently hoped those people would do, on whom in your public life you poured out your power and your mercy. Lord, I believe, I hope. I love.”
