Reflection: The Real Presence...

When we receive the Eucharist, do we really understand? We are receiving the Body, Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus. How blessed are we that Jesus gave Himself to us!

Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen
The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host. 

The Eucharist is Divine Mercy in our soul and intimacy with Jesus.

Diary of Saint Faustina 677
During a Mass celebrated by Father Andrasz, a moment before the Elevation, God's presence pervaded my soul, which was drawn to the altar. Then I saw the Mother of God with the Infant Jesus. The Infant Jesus was holding onto the hand our Our Lady. A moment later, the Infant Jesus ran with joy to the center of the altar, and the Mother of God said to me,

See with what assurance I entrust Jesus into his hands. In the same way, you are to entrust your soul and be like a child to him.

After these words, my soul was filled with unusual trust. The Mother of God was clothed in a white dress, strangely white, transparent; On her shoulders She had a transparent blue; that is, a blue-like mantel; with uncovered head and flowing hair. She was exquisite, and inconceivably beautiful. She was looking at Father with great tenderness, but after a moment, He broke up this beautiful Child, and living blood flowed forth. Father bent forward and received the true and living Jesus into himself.  Had he eaten him? I do not know how this took place. Jesus, Jesus, I cannot keep up with You, for an instant, You become incomprehensible to me.



Our Blessed Mother, in her beautiful words to Saint Faustina, invites us to come to Jesus like a child, trusting completely in Him. Come and spend time with Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration. Open your heart to receive the Love He wants to give you. He is waiting for you to come to Him and rest awhile...
