Eucharistic Reflection -This Is What We Need

"The adorers share Mary's mission of prayer in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament. It is the most beautiful of all missions and moreover, is not fraught with dangers. It is also the holiest of missions, for it calls for the practice of all the virtues. It is the most necessary to the Church which has a still greater need of men of prayer than of preachers, of men of penance than of men of eloquence.

Today more than ever we need men who by self-immolation disarm the wrath of God angered by the ever-increasing crimes of nations; we need souls who by their earnest prayers reopen the treasures of grace which had been closed by a general indifference; we need true adorers, that is, men of fire and of sacrifice. When their numbers multiply around their divine Leader, God will be glorified. Jesus will be loved, society will again become Christian, won to Jesus Christ by the apostolate of Eucharistic prayer."

(St. Peter Julian Eymard from A Eucharistic Handbook)

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
