And, when he was obliged to depart, it is said that he stood looking at the altar, and bowed several times, as if he knew not how to leave the society of his Lord, whose presence was so sweet and pleasing to him. St. Lewis Gonzaga was commanded not to remain before the blessed sacrament; but, in passing before the altar, he felt himself drawn by the sweet attractions of his Saviour to remain with him, and with reluctance retired, saying with tenderness Of love, Recede a me, Domine, recede. It was at the foot of the altar that St. Francis Xavier found repose and refreshment after the many labors he endured in India; for, after spending the day in saving souls, be employed the night in prayer before the most holy sacra ment. Such too, was the practice of St. John Francis Regis, who, when he found the church closed, consoled himself by remaining 011 his knees in the rain and cold, to honor and adore from a distance his comforter in the holy sacra ment. In all his difficulties, St. Francis of As sisium had immediate recourse to Jesus in the holy sacrament. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
