The Center of Life is Love

Charles knew that from experience: the center of his life was not penance but love, which he found in contemplation, in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and in (receiving) the Eucharist.  His faith in the Real Presence was total:  "You are there, my Lord Jesus, in the Holy Eucharist.  You are there but a few feet from me, in the tabernacle.  Your body, your soul, your humanity, your divinity, your entire being is there in its double nature!  How close you are, God!"--Jean Jacques Antier, Charles de Foucauld, pg 154
