For God, the best: a worship service full of generosity in the sacred elements used, and with generosity in time, as much as necessary—no more—but without rushing, without cutting short the ceremonies or private thanksgiving after Holy Mass, for example. The decorum, quality, and beauty of the liturgical vestments and sacred vessels express that it is the best we have for God. They are a sign of the splendor of the liturgy that the triumphant Church pays tribute to the Trinity in Heaven, and they are a powerful aid in recognizing the divine presence among us. Lukewarmness, weak faith, and lack of love tend to prevent us from treating holy things in a holy manner, losing sight of the glory, honor, and majesty that belong to the Most Blessed Trinity.
"Do you remember that scene in the Old Testament when David wants to build a house for the Ark of the Covenant, which until then had been kept in a tent? In that tabernacle, Yahweh made his presence known in a mysterious way, through a cloud and other extraordinary phenomena. And all this was only a shadow, a figure. In contrast, the Lord is truly present in the tabernacles where the Most Holy Eucharist is reserved. Here we have Jesus Christ—how I love to make an explicit act of faith!—with his Body, his Blood, his Soul, and his Divinity. In the tabernacle, Jesus presides over us, loves us, and waits for us."
