More wisdom from Hans Urs von Balthasar

 
 
 

We do not know if Mary received communion at a celebration of the Eucharist; but she knows better than any saint or sinner what it means to accept the Son completely into oneself; she stands, as it were, behind every communion as the ecclesia immaculata that completes and perfects what we have done incompletely and imperfectly.

—Hans Urs von Balthasar

from his book, Mary for Today
