I never hear, but I meet with Christ, what a blessed hour is this? I never receive of the Sacrament, but I meet with Christ (O what a blessed feast is this?)

I commend that speech of 1Bernard, if the soul can speak its of Christ, I never come to thee, but by thee; I never come from thee without thee.
