Eucharistic Reflection For the Day


During my time of adoration
I was quite full of the thought
that it was impossible for me
to enjoy a more blessed privilege.
Is it not, indeed, a foretaste of Paradise
to find oneself in the presence of
Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacarament?

St. Eugene de Moazenod

Pondering Tidbits of Truth - May 7, 226

Pondering Tidbits of Truth is  my simple and inadequate way of providing  nuggets of spiritual wisdom for you to chew on from time to time. Peter Kreeft, Ph.D.  "Here is one of the most wonderful and terrifying sentences I have ever read, from William Law’s S erious Call:  'If you will look into your own heart in utter honesty, you must admit that there is one and only one reason why you are not even now a saint.  You do not wholly want to be'.”  (From  How to Win the Culture War: A Christian Plan   Jesus to St. Catherine of Siena  “My daughter, if you wish to acquire strength, you must imitate Me. I could, with My divine power, have thwarted Satan’s efforts and taken other measures to nullify them, but I wish to instruct you through My example and teach you to conquer him through the Cross. If you wish to have power over your enemies, take the Cross as your safeguard. Have not My apostles taught you that I ran with joy to a ...

Eucharistic Reflection - Holy Hour for Priests

Image
(Photo ©Father Lawence Lew, O.P., Used with Permission) "My God, poor, weak and miserable as I am, I have come to spend this hour alone with Thee, in reparation for the priests who have forgotten that they are Thou chosen souls.

Were it not for Thy grace, I would be far worse than those for whom I pray.  O My God, help those priests who are faithful to remain faithful; to those who are falling, stretch forth Your Divine Hand that they may grasp it as their support. And for those poor unfortunate souls who have fallen, lift them up in the great ocean of Your Mercy, that being engulfed therein, they may receive the grace to return to Thy Great Loving Heart. Amen." (From The Cure of Ars Prayer Group )

Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My mercy.  Let souls who are striving for perfection particularly adore My mercy, because the abundance of graces which I grant them flows from My mercy. I desire that these souls distinguish themselves by boundless trust in My mercy. I myself will attend to the sanctification of such souls. I will provide them with everything they will need to attain sanctity. The graces of My mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is-trust.  The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive. Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to Me, because I pour all the treasures of My graces into them. I rejoice that they ask for much, because it i...
