“My Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,
how can I ever express the sympathy and sorrow which should be expressed for
the unbelievable foolishness which we show in our daily neglect of You. The
church is so crowded on Sunday [written in 1954] with men and women who are
ready to do what they must do to save their souls. But on weekdays, the same
Church has but a handful of people who rise a little earlier to come and kneel
at Your feet. Others will rise earlier for a number of other reasons, but for
an extra half hour with You, they will not do so.

You offer so much in the Mass
and Holy Communion, yet we do so little to deserve Your generosity and love.
Lord, place my heart in Yours for a moment and inflame it with the fire of Your
love. Let me grow in appreciation of Holy Communion so that I may come to You
more often. You desire to come to me that You many grant me more graces and
blessings. In Holy Communion the privilege is all mine. I shall never forget
this again. Amen."
(Father Anthony J.
Paone, S.J. from My Daily Bread)
