A little bread (St. Francis of Assisi)


What wonderful majesty!  
What stupendous condescension!  
O sublime humility!  
That the Lord of the whole universe, 
God and the Son of God, 
should humble Himself like this 
 under the form of a little bread, 
 for our salvation. 
                                   
In this world, I cannot see 
the Most High Son of God 
with my own eyes, except 
for His Most Holy Body and Blood. 

-- St. Francis of Assisi
