"The Church is the Body of Christ. When we come to Holy Communion, we have to remember it is not just our communion, but it is also His communion. It is not just that we want to bring 'ourselves, our souls, our bodies' to him for His indwelling, but it is also that He wants to possess our humanity and make it the revelation of his own."
"Christ is surely still seeking a human nature wherein He may repeat the experiences of His incarnate life: feet that will follow the way of love, albeit they are pierced in the following; hands that will succor and help and bless, although they may be wounded in their service; a heart that will love, through the love be unrequited, and will bless though it be broken; a will to choose the way of holiness and love and beauty, even though that way be the way of the Cross."
Father Andrew, Meditations, pg. 330
