"There is a particular need to
cultivate a lively awareness of Christ's real presence, both in the
celebration of Mass and in the worship of the Eucharist outside Mass. Care
should be taken to show that awareness through tone of voice, gestures, posture
and bearing.

In this regard, liturgical law
recalls - and I myself have recently reaffirmed - the importance of moments of
silence both in the celebration of Mass and in Eucharistic adoration. The way
that the ministers and the faithful treat the Eucharist should be marked by
profound respect. The presence of Jesus in the tabernacle must be a kind of magnetic
pole attracting an ever greater number of souls enamored of him, ready
to wait patiently to hear his voice and, as it were, to sense the beating of
his heart. “O taste and see that the Lord is good!” (Ps 34:8)."
