Eucharistic Reflection - The Most Beautiful Of All Missions
"Eucharistic adorers share Mary’s life and mission of prayer at the foot
of the Most Blessed Sacrament. It is the most beautiful of all missions,
and it holds no perils. It is the most holy, for in it all the virtues
are practiced. It is, moreover, the most necessary to the Church,
which has even more need of prayerful souls than of powerful preachers;
of men of penance rather than of men of eloquence. Today more than ever
have we need of men who, by their self-immolation, disarm the anger of
God inflamed by the ever-increasing crimes of nation.
We must have souls who by their importunity re-open the treasures of grace which the indifference of the multitude has closed. We must have true adorers; that is to say, men of fervor and of sacrifice.
When there are many such souls around their Divine Chief, God will be glorified, Jesus will be loved, and society will once more be Christian, conquered for Jesus Christ by the apostolate of Eucharistic prayer."
(Meditation of St. Peter Julian Eymard)
