"I am making my retreat with the Eucharistic Heart. I am on fire, burning with the desire to love God and to bring others to love him. 'Our Lady of the Eucharistic Heart, I beg you to give Jesus to souls!'"

It took me a long time as a convert to realize the presence of Christ as Man in the Sacrament. He is the same Jesus Who walked on earth, Who slept in the boat as the tempest arose, Who hungered in the desert, Who prayed in the garden, Who conversed with the woman by the well, Who rested at the house of Martha and Mary, Who wandered through the cornfields, picking the ears of corn to eat.

Jesus is there as Man. He is there, Flesh and Blood, Soul and Divinity. He is our leader Who is always with us. Do you wonder that Catholics are exultant in this knowledge, that their Leader is with them? "I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." Servant of God Dorothy Day

"At Lourdes...each afternoon, in the procession of the Blessed Sacrament, the bishop or priest, carrying the monstrance, walks among the sick, blessing them. It is then that the cures and the miracles of grace usually take place. Mary brings her children to her divine Son and it is he who works the miracles, just as he did at Cana,"

- Fr. Paul Hinnebusch, OP.

Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

We will read Sunday's readings together 

in preparation for the First Sunday of Lent

Sunday, February 14th 2016 Mass Readings

Reflection Questions:

1. The season of Lent lasts forty days, just as long as Christ's temptation in the desert, the rains that lead to Noah's flood, and the years Israel spent wandering in the desert... 

How would you explain the relationship between these events?

2. The devil quoted the Bible in order to tempt Jesus.  Is there a lessson in that for us?

3. How can we get and keep our conscience "in shape", able to recognize easily the difference between an innocent desire, a temptation, and a sin?

There is nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had something more precious, 

He would have given it to us. ~ Saint Jean Vianney
