Eucharistic Reflection - Why Does He Remain?

"He is the unknown God, often deserted even by His own.

And yet He remains in the Eucharist only for man. It is His infinite love that keeps Him night and day close to man's home with all the gifts and graces of heaven. Oh! Why are men so indifferent?...

If the Christians continue to desert Jesus Christ in His temple, will not the Heavenly Father take away from them His well-beloved Son whom they neglect? Has He not already taken Him away from nations and kings, who now sit in the shadow of death?

To spare themselves this greatest of all evils, let the faithful souls bestir themselves and get together; let them become adorers in spirit and in truth of Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament; let them organize a guard of honor for the King of kings, a devoted court for the God of love!"

(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."
