Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. Hands reach out, seeking the face of God, holding it tenderly within hand and heart. Become what you seek.
St. Augustine on the Eucharist: "You are saying "Amen" to what you are: your response is a personal signature, affirming your faith. When you hear "The body of Christ", you reply "Amen." Be a member of Christ's body, then, so that your "Amen" may ring true! ... Be what you see; receive what you are."
What am I reaching for outside of Mass? Does it ring true with what I reach for at the Eucharistic liturgy?
Become what you receive.

Yes, Be what you receive, 100% love. And never hold on to it, but let it flow through you out to others, back to God, and so, back to you again. Never Static, Always Dynamic!
