O my daughter! Would that the believers in the
holy Catholic faith opened their hardened and stony hearts in order to attain to
a true understanding of the Sacred and mysterious blessing of the Holy
Eucharist!

If they would only detach themselves, root out
and reject their earthly inclinations, and, restraining their passions, apply
themselves with living faith to study by the Divine light their great happiness
in thus possessing their eternal God in the Holy Sacrament and in being able,
by its reception and constant intercourse, to participate in the full effects
of this heavenly manna!
If they would only worthily esteem this precious
gift, begin to taste its sweetness, and share in the hidden power of their
omnipotent God! Then nothing would ever be wanting to them in their exile.
In this, the happy age of the law of grace,
mortals have no reason to complain of their weakness and their passions; since
in this Bread of heaven they have at hand strength and health. It matters not
that they are tempted and persecuted by the demon; for by receiving this Sacrament
frequently they are able to overcome him gloriously. The faithful are
themselves to blame for all their poverty and labors, since they pay no
attention to this divine mystery, nor avail themselves of the divine powers,
thus placed at their disposal by my most Holy Son . . .
Lucifer and his demons have such a fear of the
most holy Eucharist, that to approach it, causes them more torments than to
remain in hell itself. Although they do enter churches in order to tempt souls,
they enter them with aversion, forcing themselves to endure cruel pains in the
hope of destroying a soul and drawing it into sin, especially in the holy
places and in the presence of the Holy Eucharist.
