“As we are able to hear, from the core of our being, the words of consecration, “This is my body, given for you”, the barrier between this narrow self with this given physical body, and all the bodies of all sentient beings, and the bodies of all the saints, and this whole earth, and the whole universe, and the body of Christ, collapses. And with this collapse, we see with new eyes, and we hear with new ears, the sound out of the depths: “This is my body, given for you.””
