The Mystery of the Incarnation
9/1/2022
Our Lord took on a humble human form. Ignored, nobody knew Him. One apostle abandoned Him, another betrayed Him. Only one stood with Him. Yet He promised to always be with us.
Sit Before the Tabernacle
I am the Living Bread come down from Heaven. The Bread that I give is My Flesh. His followers asked how could He give us His flesh to eat? Did Jesus stop? No. He repeated the same.
The Angels
Despite their enormous intellect and power, Angels can never receive the Eucharist. They cannot die for Christ or suffer for Him. Anyone who eats this Bread will live forever.
John 6
How could Our Lord allow his followers to walk away for only a symbol? I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Unless you eat My Flesh and drink My Blood, you have no life in you.
The Eucharist
When you receive Holy Communion, you receive Our Lord: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. It sanctifies you. We participate in the very nature of God when we receive the Eucharist.
Our Lord Walking on the Water
Sometimes God permits things to happen in our lives. Belief in the Eucharist is like Christ walking on the water. The apostles thought He was a ghost. He said "Be not afraid".
The Loaves and Fishes
The apostles didn't understand the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Soon after He tells them about the Eucharist. We need to be faithful to Him.
Visit the Blessed Sacrament
Our Lord will be made very happy if you visit Him and comfort Him in Adoration. He needs you to comfort Him. Give Jesus to everyone, especially the suffering and lonely.
Jesus: Begotten of the Father
Jesus begotten of the Father before all ages, yet in His Humanity was born at a specific time of His Blessed Mother. The Trinity lives in us. That's why we must be holy.
