Eucharistic Reflection - Seven Questions To Ponder
There are times when one must be blunt in the effort to stir slumbering souls. Today is one of those days.
Seek a quiet place where you and God can chat, heart to heart. He has some questions for you. Ponder them. How will you respond to Him?

What if, as Father Francis Hudson, S.C.J.
once asked his parishioners, God loved you, only as much as you loved Him?
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?
Of the 168 hours God gives you each week, how much of that time do you even think of, talk to, or visit Him?
Are you satisfied with the manner in which you act and treat our Lord? If not, what changes do you intend to make?
How much do you love God?

"This book accomplished what author Michael Seagriff hoped: that is to ignite my heart and stir my soul to love Jesus more and more. The words contained in this volume speak Truth and breathe Life and offer the reader a broad sampling of some of the finest thoughts and reflections on the Eucharist--our source and summit and surest Love. I can't wait to get to Adoration!...“Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful gem with me. I feel like every single Catholic should read it and have a copy and then share it with someone who isn’t and then we would be all set in this world. Such richness here and it stirs up so much in the soul."
