St. Francis wrote to his brothers: “Let the whole world shake when Christ, the Son of God, is present on the altar! O sublime humility, o humble sublimity! That the Lord of the universe, God and the Son of God so humbles himself that for our sake he hides himself under the little form of bread!” Do I have St Francis’ awe-filled attitude when receiving the Eucharist or has my frequent reception of it made me so used to it that I almost take it (God Himself!) for granted?
