"If we really loved the good God, we should make it our joy and happiness to come and spend a few moments to adore Him, and ask Him for the grace of forgiveness; and we should regard those moments as the happiest of our lives."

- St. John Vianney (on Adoration of Jesus in the Most the Blessed Sacrament)

It is there in His Eucharist that He says to me: "I thirst, thirst for your love, your sacrifices, your sufferings. I thirst for your happiness, for it was to save you that I came into the world, that I suffered and died on the Cross, and in order to console and strengthen you I left you the Eucharist. So you have there all My life, all My tenderness."

- Mother Mary of Jesus, foundress of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice

The Holy Eucharist was as essential to Blessed Kateri’s life as the sun in the sky is to ours.  For the Holy Eucharist, of which the Native American symbol is the sun, was the very heartbeat of her life.  As Ruth Oswald writes, “in view of her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, she may also be called ‘Lily of the Holy Eucharist.’”

"Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer."

Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

We will read this Sunday's Gospel  together 

in preparation for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Luke 10:25-37

Reflection Questions:

1. What struck you most in this passage?  
What did you notice that you hadn't noticed before?

2. What can we do to increase our reverance for and appreciation for Christ?

3. When we have moral or religious question, as did this scholar, where should we go with them ?

4. What would the "Good Samaritan" be doing if he were in our place today?

Further reading: Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1822-1829, 1846-1848,1939-1942.
