Brothers: The example of the Saints encourages us!
Cure of Ars
"How comforting and gentle are the moments spent with this God of goodness [before the tabernacle]!
Are you overwhelmed by sadness?
There comes a time to put yourself at his feet, and be comforted.
You are despised by the world? Come here,
and find a friend who will never break the fidelity.
Do you feel tempted?
Here is where you will find the safest and most terrible weapons to defeat your enemy.
Temes formidable judgment that shook so many saints?
Enjoy yourself the time that your God is God of Mercy and is so easy to achieve forgiveness.
Are you overwhelmed by poverty?
Come here, where you'll find a God immensely rich, they will tell you that all your goods are yours. "
SANTA FAUSTINA
- "All my strength is in you, the living Bread.
To me it would be difficult to live, to spend a day without taking holy communion.
You are my support, without you, Jesus, I do not know how to live "(D. 814)
- "I find myself so weak, if not for the Holy Communion, was constantly falling.
The only thing that sustains me is the holy communion.
Draw from her strength and it is all my consolation.
I come to be afraid of life in the days when I do not receive the Eucharist.
I am afraid myself. Jesus, hidden in the host, is everything to me.
Tabernacle shot the force, power, courage and light.
That's where I seek relief in times of trouble, and would not know to give glory to God,
if it had the Eucharist in my heart "(D 1037)
- "All the strength of my soul comes from the Blessed Sacrament.
Step every free moment talking with Him He is my Master. "(D. 1404)
Venerable Father Dehon:
Devotion to the Eucharist
"The Eucharist tells us all the love of our Lord to us.
- Jesus is made present: the victim, a friend, as a benefactor, as a comforter.
- You also like our King, and invites us to go to him: Come unto Me, all ye (Mt.11: 28).
-If you want to deliver to us, earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you (Lc.22, 15).
-In the Eucharist Jesus is present with every grace and ask Him to permit it to allocate them.
-You are on your throne of mercy,
-Hold our admiration, but our prayers and supplications.
-The Eucharist is the mystery of love.
If David so loved the altars of the Old Law, in which only the victims immolated flesh,
how should we love the eucharistic altars!
Even the birds are home ... among your altars, Lord of hosts (Sl.84, 4).
Let the Eucharist with faith, trust, abandonment, love.
Jesus in the tabernacle is our God: let us adore Him, Him visitemo, consultemo Him.
Let Him in our doubts, our fears, our needs.
Abandonemo us to his paternal providence. Nothing fail us, if banking your trust in Him. "
(From: Esprit Directory - SCJ - Father Dehon - No. .198)
St. Alphonsus Liguori M ª
- "The soul that any visit to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Lord tells you this:" [...]
Soul who visits me, stand up of your misery, because I am here to enrich you with graces.
Hurry, come unto me, Fear not, my majesty, because he is humiliated in Sacramento,
to dispel the fear of you and give you every confidence "
- "Oh, how abundant graces from this source took the saints of the Most Blessed Sacrament
hence the loving Jesus freely gives all the merits of his Passion!
- "Just as Jesus Christ is alive in heaven interceding for us always,
so also in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar continuously day and night
doing this pious office of our attorney, offering himself as a victim to the Eternal Father,
to reach us innumerable graces and mercies. "
Blessed Jacinta and Francisco
"One day when she left home, I noticed that Francisco was walking very slowly.
- What you got - I asked - seems you can not walk!
- It hurts me a lot and it seems that the head will fall.
- So do not come, stay home.
- I'm not! Before I get into the Church, with the hidden Jesus. "(4th Memory of Sister Lucia)
"Jacinta liked to, during recess, to visit the Blessed Sacrament, but she said:
"... I like being alone too long, talking with Jesus hidden;
but never leave us! '"(1st Memory)
"If I could get at the heart of everyone that I have the fire inside me chest
burn me and make me so fond of the Sacred Heart and the Heart of Mary! (3rd Memory).
Blessed Alexandrina of Balasar ...
Brothers and Sisters:
Certainly know the wonderful miracle that Jesus made to Blessed Alexandrina.
"Since the day they stop the ecstasies of the Passion, Alexandrina also stopped eating and drinking:
He began his perpetual fast that would last more than 13 years (1942-1955).
His only food was the holy communion!
Extraordinary miracle, confirmed by several competent physicians. "
This castle once again our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the divine Eucharist!
Praise the mercy of Jesus in the Eucharist,
present with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the consecrated Host!
Brothers, we ask all these saints who inspire each of us a burning love for SS. Sacramento.
The Blessing of God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
who became food of our soul, descend upon you and remain forever.
- Amen.
