Eucharistic Reflection - Have You Not Failed?
“O Lover of men, so lonely, so
forsaken, if Your object in staying with us day and night was to win our love,
have You not failed?

Has it been worth Your while to work miracle after miracle
to produce Your Real Presence upon the altar? Have I made it worth Your while
to be there for me? Jesus, dear
Jesus, I bury my face in my hands; I know of no heart more ungrateful, more
callous than my own. I have been miserably unmindful of Your Presence here for me. I have let self, pleasure,
troubles even – anything and everything furnish an excuse for keeping away from
You and neglecting You in that sacramental life which is lived here for me.”
(Mother Mary Loyola
from Coram Sanctissimo – Before The
Most Holy)
