Eucharistic Reflection - This Is What Jesus Wants

(Image Source: cathopic,com)

"The spirit of a servant of Jesus is thus defined: devoted love to the Blessed Sacrament in the spirit and virtue of the Blessed Virgin.

Devotedness longs for one thing only, and that is to give pleasure and to fulfill its duty. Our Lord does not ask us to serve Him in the outside world, not even in souls; but He says to us:

'To ascend My throne of love, I must have adorers. Without such, I cannot be solemnly exposed. You will be attached to My Person; you will exist for Me, as I shall live for you. You shall go so far as totally to renounce your own will, for I want it for Myself. Renounce your personal interests. I will assume them'...

The service of the Lord is, therefore, a duty for us as it was for Mary. You are called to serve Him and not yourself. Let us be true servants of the Blessed Sacrament, as Mary was; servants who have no longer any other interests, no longer any personality, who are entirely consumed in the service of Jesus...

If your state of life  does not offer you even a small opportunity to sit before the Eucharist, sit at home. Make your home a house of prayer. It may cost you some sleep but rise early and pray. Make a holy hour at home, or a holy half hour or even twenty minutes. Set a routine and follow it  as best you can. Never despair if your day does not allow you time, just begin again."
