Eucharistic Reflection
"But
I hear You complain, O my Sacramental Jesus: I was a stranger, and you took Me
not in (Matt. xxv. 43); that You came on earth to be our guest for our good,
and that we have not welcomed You. You are right, Lord, You are right; and I am
one of these ungrateful creatures who have left You alone, without even
visiting You. Chastise me as You please; but not by depriving me of Your
presence, which is the chastisement I deserve. No, I will repair my fault, and
the indignities which I have heaped upon You. From this day forward I will not
only visit You often, but will remain with You for as long a time as I
can."
(St. Alphonsus Liguori)
