December 7


Resting He feeds the Angels for all eternity, nourishing them with the vision of His eternal and immortal Presence. But know you not, O beautiful One, that thy Vision is become wonderful to thee: it is high, and you cannot reach to it (Psalm 88:6); but behold He has come forth from His holy place, and He Who, lying down, doth pasture the angels, has begun and will restore you to health, and in His Coming we shall see Him Who, while resting and feeding his angels, could not before be seen.


- St. Bernard, Abbot and Doctor
