Prayer: Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

It is most important that the Holy Eucharist becomes life's focal point: that the eucharistic Savior is the center of existence; that every day is received from his hand and laid back therein; that the day's happenings are deliberated with him. In this way, God is given the best opportunity to be heard in the heart, to form the soul, and to make its faculties clear-sighted and alert for the supernatural.

Amen - this is what I needed to begin my day. And Teresa Benedicta did indeed write many beautiful words, didn't she? Thank you for sharing them here.
