Whoever wants to receive the body of our
Lord does not need to scrutinize what they are feeling at the time or how great
their piety or devotion is, but rather they should note the state of their will
and attitude of mind. You should not
place too much weight on your feelings, but emphasize rather the object of your
love and striving.
--Meister Eckhart,
