Eucharistic Reflection - I Visit For Love

Plan on visiting our ever-present and loving Lord:

"I visit for love. To both give my love and to receive His love.  This all-knowing Love that embraces, corrects, restores, and sees exactly who I am.  I come to remember John 3:16: “For God so loved the world”…and the love that He gives is here in the Blessed Sacrament, His Son Jesus Christ. 

When I enter, the Church aura is heavy with love.   His love for us His adorers. Our love for Him the One adored.  The love shared between fellow adorers, and the love of the Heavenly adorers for Him and for us.

I am here both alone in love with Him, and yet in a cherished communion with all who seek to adore.

When I am a lover, at my very best, I approach with gratitude, praise, and thanksgiving. I wish to give love for Love, no matter what the time 5 minutes or 3 hours. I give my love, as best I can, yet often a cacophony of need can consume me. My thoughts burst into the silence with my challenges, sorrows, needs, and desires.

His love and tender embrace hear my every cry, expression, and concern, and when I leave I am a better version of myself.  I have been fully and completely loved, and nothing is lacking."

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

MOST AMIABLE JESUS "I humbly implore Thee by Thy ignominious Scourging, The Crowning with Thorns, Thy Holy Cross, and by all Thy Goodness, not to permit me to pass out of this world without having received Thy most holy Sacraments." -Prayer of St. Vincent Ferrer

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."
