Eucharistic Reflection - A Few Questions

(Image Source: Cathopic.com)

What if, as Father Francis Hudson, S.C.J. once asked his parishioners, God loved you, only as much as you loved Him?

Do you believe that Jesus is really, truly and substantially present in every Catholic Church and in the Sacred Host placed on your tongue?

As you enter your parish Church are you struck with a sense of the Sacred and a realization that you are standing on holy ground? If not, why not?

What does Jesus see and hear from behind the locked Tabernacle doors when He gazes at those present? Is He pleased by what He hears and sees? If not, why not?

How important is it for you to spend some time in quiet prayer and reflection in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, before, during, after Mass and throughout the course of each week?

Are you satisfied with the manner in which you act and treat our Lord? If not, what changes do you intend to make?

What concrete things can you do to encourage yourself and others in your family and parish toward a greater reverence and belief in the God who dwells among us?

Of the 168 hours God gives you each week, how much of that time do you even think of, talk to, or visit Him?

How much do you love God?
