²⁶Let everyone be struck with fear,
let the whole world tremble,
and let the heavens exult
when Christ, the Son of the living God,
is present on the altar in the hands of a priest!

²⁷O wonderful loftiness and stupendous dignity!
O sublime humility!
O humble sublimity!
The Lord of the universe, God and the Son of God,
so humbles Himself
that for our salvation He hides Himself
under an ordinary piece of bread!

²⁸Brothers, look at the humility of God,
and pour out your hearts before Him! ^{Ps 62:9 [Vulgate, Ps 61:9]}
Humble yourselves
that you may be exalted by Him! ^{1 Pt 5:6 Jas 4:10}

²⁹Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves,
that He Who gives Himself totally to you
may receive you totally!
