“Here is a good thought which is
not often mentioned: receive Communion not only for yourself , in order to have
this immense grace, but for Jesus, in order to respond to His desire to come
down into you, to give Him the joy of descending into your heart, which is a heaven
for Him. Perhaps you will say, ‘What, My
poor heart, so miserable, so unworthy, a heaven for Jesus?’ Yes, if you
call upon Him to make your heart a heaven for Him.
Listen to little Therese: ‘I offered myself to Jesus, not as a
person who desires to receive His visit for my own consolation, but on the
contrary, for the pleasure of Him who gives Himself to me. It is not in order
to remain in the golden ciborium that He comes down each day from Heaven, but
in order to find another heaven, the heaven of our souls, made in His image,
the living temple of the adorable Trinity’.’’
(From I Believe in Love, as quoted in I
The Lord Am With You Always – Prayers and Mediations for Eucharistic Adoration.
