Publisher's Synopsis
SINCE the spirit of devotion that has urged me to write this book, animates you to read it and makes us the happy children of the same loving Father, should you ever hear any person say I might have spared myself the labor, there being already so many learned and celebrated works which treat of this subject, I beg you to answer that our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Adorable Sacrament, is such an abundant fountain that the more it flows the fuller it becomes, and the fuller it is the more it flows, which signifies that the most Holy Eucharist is so great and so sublime a Mystery that the more we say of it the more remains to be said. If St. Alphonsus could say with all truth of the Passion of our Lord, " that eternity will not suffice to meditate adequately upon it," we may affirm the same of Jesus Christ hidden in the Blessed Sacrament, and with a thousand times more justice apply to our subject what St. Augustine says in praise of the Blessed Virgin, VlZ: that all the tongues of men, even if all their members were changed into tongues, would not be sufiicient to praise her as she deserves.
