Monday Musings - Open The Eyes of Your Heart


"Have you ever thought about the immense gift God has given to us in the holy Eucharist? Everything you can say about Christianity is related to the Eucharist in one way or another.

Open the eyes of your heart and let yourself be pierced by this mystery.  God, the second person of the most Holy Trinity, gives Himself to us in the humblest possible way, as bread and wine. The multiplication of the loaves and fishes was a beautiful miracle but our Lord did not come just to feed 4000 people on a particular day. He came to give Himself as bread every day until the end of time.

The multiplication of the loaves and fishes is dwarfed by this daily multiplication of Himself at the Eucharistic banquet."

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."
