Brethren,
how fine a thing it is to move from festival to festival, from prayer
to prayer, from holy day to holy day. The time is now at hand when we
enter on a new beginning: the proclamation of the blessed Passover,
in which the Lord was sacrificed. We feed as on the food of life, we
constantly refresh our souls with his precious blood, as from a
fountain. Yet we are always thirsting, burning to be satisfied. But
he himself is present for those who thirst and in his goodness
invites them to the feast day. Our Savior repeats his words: If
anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
