THE GIFT OF GOD
Based on the words of Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson

LORD, You loved me from all eternity,
therefore You created me.
Behold you are precious in my eyes and glorious:
because I love you (Isaiah 43:4)

You loved me after You created me,
therefore You became man for me.
For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16).

You loved me after You became Man for me,
therefore You lived and died for me.
Christ loved me and gave Himself for me! (Galatians 2:20).

You loved me after You died for me,
therefore You rose for me
I arose and I am still with you
even to the end of the world (Ps 138 and Mt 28:20).

You loved me after You rose for me,
therefore You went to prepare a place for me.
I am going to prepare a place for you
that where I am you also may be (Jn 14:3).

You loved me after You had gone to prepare a place for me, therefore You came back to me.
O Jesus, you love Me and You want to live in me
and be One with me — to become my very Food and Drink.
Take and eat: this is My body for you.
Take and drink — this is My blood poured out for you.
(Lk 22:19).

This is the mystery on our Altar,
the mystery of the Blessed Sacrament,
the mystery of unspeakable love.
0 if only you knew the gift of God! (John 4:12).
