Eucharistic Reflection - A Pesky Question

"No one loves us more than our God. He Who is Love waits [in His tabernacle] for us. How blessed we are to be able to come into His Presence. Why don't we?"

(From Stirring Slumbering Souls 250 Eucharistic Reflections)

Pondering Tidbits of Truth is my simple and inadequate way of providing nuggets of spiritual wisdom for you to chew on from time to time.

 

 

 

 

Venerable Bruno Lanteri

“Keep constantly before you these two proposals that I urge you to renew often and with the holy persistence: first,  never to offend God knowingly and second, if you should fall, never to persevere in this with your will, but, with humility and courage, to rise immediately and begin again, firmly convinced that God forgives you in the instant itself that with humility and trust, you ask His forgiveness."

(From Overcoming Spiritual Encouragement)

 

 

Venerable Edel Mary Quinn

 "If we knew we could find Him anywhere on earth, we would try to go there. We have Him, every free moment, on the altar. Be with Him there."

(From Stirring Slumbering Souls – 250 Eucharistic Reflections)

 

 

Ian Murphy

“For me, Catholicism has meant joy not as an absence of sorrow, but as a presence amid sorrow—the Lord’s presence. And it has meant peace not as an absence of turmoil, but as a presence amid turmoil. It has meant a Love that grieves with me when I grieve and laughs with me when I laugh.”

(From Dying to Live)

Why? It can change your life.

Maybe the following comments from several readers might give you the courage to click that link:

    "[The author] has written a book full of little reminders as eye-opening as they are stimulating and, in some cases, conscience pricking. We are taken on a journey of considerations surrounding our behavior and attitudes toward Eucharistic Adoration and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with the effect of stirring us to spend more time with Our Lord in Adoration and being more focused and attentive at Mass...I think this book needs to be promoted in every parish for the sake of evangelizing ourselves and others." - Barb Schoeneberger, Catholic Blogger 

 

    "Tender, earnest, and heartfelt—I Thirst For Your Love is an excellent collection of beautiful poignant Eucharistic reflections. Author Michael Seagriff believes we have lost the sense of the Sacred and offers countless reasons for us to pause and ponder Jesus’ Sacred thirst for our love. I highly recommend this book." - Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle, Author, Speaker and ETWN Host.

    "As I was reading [this book] I just kept thinking how urgent is this message. You say it with clarity and charity. Anyone reading this book will not be able to resist the 'wooing' of our Saviour to His wounded heart. As a woman, the holy gift of my receptivity resides and is invigorated by His Eucharistic presence. Jesus in the tabernacle is our only hope, quenching His thirst our single aim." - Anne Costa, Author and Catholic Radio Host.

 

    "If you have ever wanted to know more about Our Lord Jesus Christ exposed in a monstrance, and referred to as Our Blessed Sacrament, then this book is for you. Michael Seagriff does an excellent job at helping you to understand that it is truly Jesus Christ, Himself, contained in the monstrance, exposed during Adoration. Michael helps the reader to understand why we should be more reverent to the Blessed Sacrament. He also provides suggestions on how we can be more reverent when in Church. The messages from Jesus, contained in this book, taken from In Sinu Iesu (The Journal of a Priest) were beyond powerful. When reading them, I felt like Jesus was talking directly to my heart about what it means to Him to have someone visit with Him in Church. I highly recommend taking this book to Adoration and reading it in Christ's Presence. The prayers in the Appendices can be recited over and over, at each visit. This book is a gem!" - Virginia Lieto, Author and Catholic Blogger

 

    "This book is a wake up call to adore God, truly present in the Holy Eucharist and to expand Eucharistic adoration in parishes!  This book inspires greater reverence and respect for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament!  It is well written and thoughtful!"   - EucharisticAdorationcanada.com  (where you can obtain information or assistance starting, expanding or reviving Eucharistic Adoration in the USA or Canada.)

If you find the book has value, please let me know. Send a link of this post to your family, friends, and parish. Invite them to get their free PDF copy as well. If you prefer a paper copy or Kindle version both are still available here.

Whatever you decide, please take the time to visit our imprisoned Lord. Love Him! Reverence Him!  Quench His Thirst For Your Love!

Eucharistic Reflection - What Should I Have To Say?

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)

 

"There are times when physical lassitude, cold or heat, an importunate thought, a trial with its sting still fresh, baffles every effort to fix the mind on the subject of prayer and concentrates the whole attention on what, for the moment, is all-absorbing.

Times harder still to manage, when mind and heart are so absolutely vacant and callous that there is no rousing them to action.

This reflection will sometimes be helpful, then: What should I have to say were I in the presence of the one I loved best in the world; with whom I am quite at my ease; my friend par excellence; to whom my trials, difficulties, character, the secrets of my soul are known; that one in whose concerns and welfare I take the deepest interest; whose plans and views are mine, discussed again and again together; in whose company time flies and the hour of parting comes too soon — what should I find to say?

Say it, make an effort to say it to Him Who is in the tabernacle yonder."

(Coram Sanctissimo – Mother Mary Loyola)
