Mother TeresaI held the Host with two fingers and thought: How small Jesus made Himself, in order to show us that He doesn't expect great things of us, but rather little things with great love.
About This Quote
When Jesus was on the cross, He knew that He was leaving something of Himself behind for us to remember. That something is the love shown to us when we are hurting and in need. He knew that we would hold on to the memory of who He is, especially when we are in pain. The fact that Jesus left His soul in our hands means that we will hold on to Him throughout our lives, no matter what they might bring.
