"...draw near to this great Mystery, to your Lord and Savior in the most Blessed Sacrament. Imitate the Saints who laid before the Sacramental Throne all their cares of body and soul, all their desires and petitions, all their hopes and fears. Each time they did so, they received help and grace in richest measure.
By renewed fervor, show that you appreciate our Savior's excess of love! Show it by visiting Him frequently and keeping Him company in adoration, thanksgiving, love and petition.
Say not that you have no time. Place your hand on your heart and answer truly: Can you not sacrifice one short quarter of an hour for your Lord and God? Suppose, however, you are really unable to do so; you can at least dedicate all your prayers and works to our Eucharistic God in the morning, and during the day make frequent acts of adoration by directing your mind to the Tabernacle. 'Think of Me and I will think of thee,' said Our Lord to St. Catherine of Siena."
(Father Lukas Etlin, O.S.B. from The Holy Eucharist - Our All)
