"To imitate Jesus is no longer copy Jesus, but to be transformed into Jesus, to become Jesus. It is no loner to bring out in herself the features of the beloved Model, but to allow Christ to develop and reproduce himself in her. It is the imitation ab intra. There is no question of becoming merely like Jesus, but of being one with Jesus, the God-Man...
Why not desire with all his soul to put on Jesus Christ as fully as possible, to be Christ 'within,' to become, as we said before, like the Host which each morning he transforms into Jesus Christ?' pages 42-43
So much to unpack here that I almost kept it as 2 separate quotes. They are beautifully married together though, don't you agree?
We are to transform into Christ like the Host is transformed in each mass. Whoa!
Dudes, just meditate on that.
