"…I
filled Your soul in the Garden of Gethsemani with fear and sorrow even unto
death; now I will comfort it and make it rejoice by fervent Holy Communion and loving
visits to You in this Sacrament of Your love. I bound Your Body to a pillar and
scourged it so unmercifully that Your Sacred Flesh was torn to fragments and
Your Precious Blood flowed in streams to the ground; now I will receive that
Divine Body devoutly and often, and each time
I will solemnly promise never again to let my passions hurt You in any
way…Yes, I condemned You to death. 0 dear Jesus, now I am going to visit You
often in Your earthly dwelling place; here I am going to offer my life to You;
here, with You and from You, I am going to seek the life of grace and the
pledge of life ever- lasting…"
(Eucharistic Whisperings - Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S.)
