“Non manifete, sed quasi in occulto – ‘Not publicly, but as if He would keep Himself hidden’: thus goes Jesus to the feast of Tabernacles. Thus will He go on the way to Emmaus with Cleophas and his companion. Thus will He be seen after His Resurrection by Mary Magdalene. And thus will He appear – Non tamen cognoverunt discipuli quia Iesus est – ‘The disciples did not know it was Jesus’ – at the miraculous draught of fishes, as Saint John tells us. And more hidden still, through love for men, is He in the Host.”
