Harvesting The Fruits of Contemplation

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) Jesus, today's adoration is the meeting of my soul and all of my being with you. I am the creature meeting the Creator; the disciple before the Divine Master; the patient with the Doctor of souls; the poor one appealing to the Rich One; the thirsty one drinking at the Font; the weak before the Almighty; the tempted seeking a sure Refuge; the blind person searching for the Light; the friend who goes to the True Friend; the lost sheep sought by the Divine Shepherd; the wayward heart who finds the Way; the unenlightened one who finds Wisdom; the bride who finds the Spouse of the soul; the 'nothing' who finds the All; the afflicted who finds the Consoler; the seeker who finds life's meaning. (Blessed James Alberione from Eucharist Adoration by Marie Paul Curley, FSP)

 (Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer, NYC)   "We need a blood transfusion… There must be communication, union, between the Heart of Jesus and your heart–our heart–so that His divine blood will flow into us until little by little our blood is replaced by His. When this union, this total fusion between our will and His will takes place, then, to put it briefly, our will is replaced with the will of Jesus; our feelings are replaced with the feelings of Jesus. We live in Jesus–this is love! We are lost in Jesus. It is no longer I who think, it is no longer I who feel; it is no longer I who act. It is Jesus in me! It is Christ who lives in me!" (Blessed James Alberione as quoted by Sr. Marie Paul Curley, fsp on Windows to the Soul Blog )
