“…the Blessed
Sacrament is the magnet of souls. There is a mutual attraction between Jesus
and the souls of men. Mary drew Him down from heaven. Our nature attracted Him
rather than the nature of angels. Our misery caused Him to stoop to our lowness.
Even our sins had a sort of attraction for the abundance of His mercy and the
predilection of His grace. Our repentance wins Him to us. Our love makes earth
a paradise to Him; and our souls lure Him as gold lures the miser, with
irresistible fascination. This is the attraction on our side. On the other
hand, He draws us to Himself by grace, by example, by power, by lovingness, by
beauty, by pardon, and above all by the Blessed Sacrament. Every one who has
had anything to do with ministering to souls has seen the power which Jesus
has.”
(Father Frederick Faber from The Blessed Sacrament)
