Just as the hen gather her chicks under her wings and protects - TopicsExpress

Just as the hen gather her chicks under her wings and protects them with her body, so Christ, our Merciful Saviour, gathers us under the wings of his mercy and love, and he shields us from sin and danger with his own Body and Blood. For if we receive the Eucharist worthily and with the right dispositions, then we “grow strong in the Lord, with the strength of his power” as St Paul put it. - Fr Lawrence Lew OP
