Prayer
Before Mass
You have given me your sacred body to be the refreshment of my soul and body, and have set your Word as a lamp to my feet. The Word of God is the light of my soul, and your Sacrament is the bread of my life. One might describe them as two tables, set on either side of the treasury of Holy Church. The one is the table of the holy altar having on it the Body of Christ. The other is the table that enshrines holy doctrine and the true faith that unerringly guides our steps. - Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Chapter 11 |
