For in that wonderful prayer Anima Christi (some think it to be from Ignatius of Loyola, though it really is much older) we pray, "Blood of Christ, inebriate me." (In Cardinal Newman's beautiful free translation, he has, "Fill all my veins," which is also a fitting thought.) <br /><br />Where Christ is, His Spirit is, the joyous and life-giving (vivificantem) Spirit, and so in the holy Eucharist I believe we could say that we truly have one of the greatest "Pentecost" moments in this life. I pray all of our churches will give opportunity this Pentecost for the celebration and reception of the Holy Supper.Dcn Latif Haki Gaba SSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032212390625343868noreply@blogger.com
