“Most beautiful of creatures, who desires so ardently to know the dwelling place of your Beloved in order to seek Him and be united with Him, you are yourself the refuge where He takes shelter, the dwelling place in which He hides Himself. Your Beloved, your Treasure, your one Hope is so close to you as to live within you; and, actually, you cannot have life without Him!”  ~St. John of the Cross, Spiritual Canticle, 1,7

Ave Maria!  Today is the 56th anniversary of my First Holy Communion.  Every single day, year after year after year, to be able to approach the Altar of God in absolute confidence and to receive in Holy Communion Him whom my heart loves - ah, could there be any greater joy? 

"Domine, non sum dignus...O Lord, I am not worthy!"
