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)
