WE are struck with wonder when we hear that God obeyed the voice of Josue, and made the sun stand still. But our wonder should be far greater when we find that in obedience to the words of his priests - Hoc est corpus meum (This is my body) - God descends on the altar, that he comes wherever they call him and as often as they call him.
