"The persistency of the love of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament is another undeniable proof that He loves us.
 |
An almost incalculable number of Masses are celebrated every day; they follow one another almost without interruption. But how distressing it is for an understanding soul to realize that very often no one is present to hear or assist at these Masses in which Jesus offers Himself up for us! While Jesus is crying for mercy on this new Calvary, sinners are insulting God and His Christ.
Why then does our Lord renew His sacrifice so often, since men do not profit by it?
Why does our Lord remain day and night on so many altars to which no one comes to receive the graces He is offering so lavishly?
He loves, He hopes and He waits."
(St. Peter Julian Eymard from The Real Presence)
