Eucharistic Reflection - Our Gift Of Reparation

(Image Source- Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament)

"Beloved Jesus, notwithstanding twenty centuries of Your nearness and friendship, we have not yet penetrated, as we should have, the mystery of love in Your divine Eucharist. In reparation for this lack of understanding, we offer You Mary's affection, and the love of her maternal Heart.

Adorable Jesus, we owe You yet another apology. We feel remorse for not loving You with the burning charity with which we should repay Your love. Notwithstanding Your generosity and Your unbelievable tenderness, our love is still far too measured...

Jesus, Love of our love and Life of our life, turn way Your adorable eyes from our failings and our lukewarmness; turn them away from the forgetfulness of our good resolutions, from the weakness that prevents us from keeping our repeated promises to become better - to become saints.  For love of Mary, Your Mother and ours, pardon us, Jesus! As reparation for our coldness, we offer You the love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary; take it, accept it as the most perfect adoration on our part."

(Rev.Mateo Crawley-Boevey, SS.CC. from Twenty Holy Hours)
