“There is no deep conversion in a Catholic life without a new perception of the Eucharist. The attraction for Our Lord’s presence is suddenly sharp and vivid when we place ourselves near a tabernacle. … The Eucharist is Jesus Himself, and the need to remain never far from him is often implanted by grace in the depth of our soul at the very outset of a conversion.”
