Bread of Angels (St. Thérèse de Lisieux)

  It is not to remain in a golden ciborium that He comes down each day from Heaven, but to find another Heaven, the Heaven of our soul in which he takes delight.
  You must open a little, or rather raise on high your corolla so that the Bread of Angels may come as divine dew to strengthen you, and to give you all that is wanting to you.

--Ste. Thérèse de Lisieux,  Doctor of the Church
