OUR LORD ANXIOUSLY AWAITS
YOU WITH LOVE
Remember these consoling words
of St. Alphonsus M. de’ Liguori:
“You may be sure that of all
the moments of your life, the time you spend before the Divine
Sacrament will be that which will give you more strength during
life and more consolation at the hour of your death and during
eternity.”
“Of all devotions, that of
adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the
sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to
us.”
“ The Eucharist is a priceless
treasure: by not only celebrating it but also by praying before it
outside of Mass we are enabled to make contact with the very
wellspring of grace.” - Pope John Paul II
“Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament is…an important daily practice and becomes an
inexhaustible source of holiness…It is pleasant to spend time with
(Christ), to lie close to his breast like the Beloved Disciple and
to feel the infinite love present in his heart.”
- Pope John Paul II in The Church and the Eucharist
“We have come to do him
homage.” Those words, spoken by the Magi from the East as they
searched for the infant Jesus, resound through the centuries to be
echoed in the heart of every person who makes a visit to the
Blessed Sacrament. The presence of Our Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament is as real today as the infant Jesus was to the Wise Men
who sought Him by following a star rising in the East. As Pope
John Paul II affirms in his encyclical on the relationship of the
Eucharist to the Church,”…the gaze of the Church is constantly
turned to her Lord, present in the Sacrament of the Altar, in
which she discovers the full manifestation of his boundless love.”
