Kissing the face of God
Morgan Weistling

Enkindle in your hearts ardent desires and burning wishes for Our Lord to come to you in the virtue of his charity, love of the Father, and of every human being. Say with the Royal Prophet, "I opened my mouth and panted." And your Savior will respond, "Surely I come quickly; you shall see me very soon." Your eyes at the midnight Mass will gaze upon the elevated Host and your lips will utter "My Lord and my God." A few minutes more and the little Infant will have come to you. His Immaculate Mother did not hold him more truly in her arms that first Christmas midnight than you will have him, heart to heart.
