Eucharistic Reflection - Feel It Beating

"A great many people habitually make the mistake of talking too much in their thanksgiving, that highest of prayers; by over-much speaking they render their Communion ineffective - Do but listen to  our Lord a little after Communion. This is not the time to seek, but to enjoy. This is the time when God makes Himself known through Himself: Et erunt docibiles Dei -"And they shall all be taught of God."



"How does a mother teach her little child what endless love and tenderness she has for it? She is content to show by her devotion that she loves it. God does the same in Communion. Remember that one who does not receive Communion will never know the Heart of our Lord or the magnitude of His love. The heart makes itself known through itself alone; we must feel it beating."

(St. Peter Julian Eymard from Holy Communion)
