“O Jesus hidden
God, I come before You, earnestly imploring that You would enliven my faith so
that I may realize what Your Presence on this altar means. I believe with all
my heart and soul that You are here, but without Your special grace my faith is
dull, and moves me not as it ought to love You. I picture You as You did appear
to Your disciples and friends on earth, and I think how sweet it would have
been to kneel at Your Sacred feet, to kiss your Sacred hands, to tell You all
my wants, my troubles, and my failings. How sweet it would have been even to
linger near You, hoping for a look from Your compassionate eyes – one glance from
which left Peter heartbroken for his fault against You!
