ful, Father, to think that I have received
the same Christ here in- Africa that I re-
ceived when I made my first Holy Com-
munion 40 years ago in San Jose in South-
ern California?”
I went out into the dark crooked
streets of the ancient city. There on the hill
overlooking the city loomed up the rock-
ribbed citadel built by Napoleon in con-
quering the city. Over in the East rose up
under the pale light of the moon the
sphinx of Egypt and the pyramids of Ghi-
zeh, erected by the Pharaohs over 5,000
years ago. Their vast armies have now been
sleeping for 50 centuries beneath the sands
of the Sahara. Along the streets loomed up
into the night the grotesque figures of the
mosques of Mohammed.
The words of the dying man came back
to me: San Jose, California, and Cairo,
Egypt, stood suddenly side by side! The
chasm of the centuries was spanned. The in-
tervening stretch of 8,000 miles across land
and sea was annihilated by the power of
the Divine love that knows no limitations
of time or space, “border, nor breed nor
race.”
Truly indeed is the Holy Eucharist the
golden bond by which an Omnipotent Be-
ing unites Himself with His children on
earth and gives to them a foretaste of that
ineffable union through love in the Beatific
Vision which St. Paul sought dimly to de-
scribe when He said: “Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into
the heart of man, what things God hath
prepared for them that love him.”

I HE Holy Eucharist may be viewed
as the extension of the Incarnation, and
its application to the needs of the individual
soul. Holy Communion effects a closer
union of the soul with Christ by love,
floods it with sanctifying grace, strength-
ens it against sin, and serves as a pledge
of its glorious resurrection and future union
with God by love in the Beatific Vision.
Only the recipient of a worthy Holy
Communion can experience that foretaste
of heaven and of the intimacy of that union
which Christ spoke of when He said: “He
that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, abideth in me, and I in him.” A lover
shrinks from the thought of separation and
yearns to be united with the object of his
love. By means of the Holy Eucharist,
Christ pursues us with His love to the far
ends of the world.
Some years ago we had this driven
home to us in a striking manner. We were
sojourning in Cairo, Egypt, on returning
from the Holy Land. One evening a white
robed Egyptian boy came to the rectory
with the message that an American was
dying and calling for a priest. We were
delegated to bring the last sacraments to
the dying man.
It was in a little room above a cheap
cafe in the slum section of the city that
we found the patient. He had been for
many years a soldier of fortune, sailing on
a trading vessel in the Indian sea. He was
now in the last stages of that fatal malady
of Egypt, the black fever. His face was ema-
ciated and wan.
After we had heard his confession and
given him Holy Communion, he said:
“Father, I have been worried for weeks
at the thought of dying here in this out-of-
the-way corner of the world, friendless and
alone, until I became almost delirious. But
now,” he continued, with tears in his eyes,
“it doesn’t matter. For I know I’ll meet
them all again. For Christ will bring me
safely home.”
Before I left, he said: “Isn’t it wonder-
