Eucharistic Reflection - Knock on The Wound in My Side
The
Voice of Jesus:
My children, offer Me your love and your fervent prayers. Give Me the holocaust
of your generous sacrifices in order to conquer so many souls who struggle
against the outpouring tenderness of My Heart which pleads without truce or
rest.

Count, if you can, the bloody thorns of My
Crown. Perhaps you will find there the well-beloved name of someone from your
own family circle. How many
consolations and thoughtful kindnesses I have offered to them only to have them
rejected by these very ones so dear to your heart and Mine! Perhaps they are
not wicked, but forgetful of Me they live carried away by the cares and
pleasures of the world.
Pray, faithful souls, pray that the
patience and infinite mercy of My Heart triumph over their resistance, and that
one day I may win a great victory here in My Eucharist, where My love awaits
them.
I thirst with a burning thirst to see
Myself surrounded in this Host by a happy and numerous army of returned prodigals,
of recovered lost sheep, of sinners converted by the gentleness of My
reproaches, by My tears, and by the choice graces promised and granted through
the Holy Hour and through the fervent celebration of First Fridays.
Why are you waiting? Ask, dear apostles,
ask with faith, for the God of Love
Who is here, has willed His captivity on the Altar only to give happiness to
the world. Knock with perfect confidence, knock again on the Wound in My Side, and
the doors of My Heart will open wide to you.
(From Twenty Holy Hours by Rev. Mateo Crawley-Boevey,
SS.CC)
Very beautiful from the Apostle of Enthronement to the Sacred Heart
