St. Josemaria Escriva
“Consider what is most beautiful and most noble on earth, what pleases the mind and the other faculties, and what delights the flesh and the senses. Consider the world, and the other worlds that shine in the night – the whole universe. And this, along with all the satisfied follies of the heart, is worth nothing, is nothing and less than nothing, compared with this God of mine! -of yours! Infinite treasure, most beautiful pearl… humbled, become a slave, reduced to nothingness in the form of a servant in the stable where he willed to be born… in Joseph’s workshop, in his Passion and in his ignominious death, and in the frenzy of Love – the blessed Eucharist.”
