Eucharistic Reflection - The Meekness, The Kindness, The Patience and The Mercy of God

What shall we say about the Eucharistic meekness of Jesus? How to express in words His kindness in receiving everybody; His affability in stooping to the level of everybody, the poor and the ignorant; His patience in listening to what everybody has to say and lending ear to the tale of all our troubles; His kindness in Communion in which He gives Himself according to the disposition of each one, and comes to all with joy, provided He finds  in them the life of grace and some little feeling of devotion, or a few good desires, and at least a minimum of respect! How express His generosity in giving every communicant the amount of grace he can carry and in paying for the soul's hospitality with His peace and love.

And what patient and merciful meekness towards those who forget Him! He waits for them.

He prays for those who spurn and offend Him; but He does not complain, nor does He threaten them. He does not punish at once those who outrage Him sacrilegiously, but tries to win them over to repentance by His meekness and kindness. 

The Eucharist is the triumph of the meekness of Jesus Christ.
