Eucharistic Reflection
“The secret for arriving quickly at a life centered in the
Eucharist is, during a certain period of time, to make Jesus in the Most Holy
Sacrament the habitual object of the exercise of the presence of God, the
dominant motive of our intentions, the meditation of our spirit, the affection
of our heart, the object of all our virtues.
And if the soul is generous enough, one will come at length to
this unity of action, to familiarity with the adorable Sacrament, to think of
it with as much and even greater ease than of any other object.
Easily and gently one's heart will produce the most tender
affections. In a word, the Most Holy Sacrament will become the magnet of
devotion in one's life and the centre of perfection of one's love.
Eight days would be enough for a simple and fervent soul to
acquire this Eucharistic spirit; and even if one should have to put weeks and
months to acquire it, can this ever be compared with the peace and the
happiness which this soul will enjoy in the Divine Eucharist?”
(Saint Peter Julian Eymard
via Father Mark)
