Bl. Dina Belanger (1897 to 1929)
Quotes On The Importance Of Eucharistic Adoration
During the course of her life as a Nun her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament transformed her into a woman of infectious joy. It was revealed to her, thru revelations from the Lord Himself, the power of a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament. Here are some of her quotes, and some of the messages from the Lord Jesus to her, about the importance of Eucharistic Adoration in our lives:
- "How often, late in the evening, by the pale flickering of the sanctuary
lamp, have I come close to Jesus and there, leaning against the altar rail,
listened to His voice and poured forth the secrets of my heart!"
(Bélanger, Dina. "The Autobiography of Dina Bélanger". Revised translation. Sillery, Québec: Religious of Jesus and Mary, 1997, p. 93.)
- "It is true that, since his Resurrection, Our Lord, in the Host, is no
longer able to suffer; but the insults, the contempt, the hatred, the neglect,
the indifference, and ingratitude affect him all the same and wound his
Eucharistic Heart."
(Bélanger, Autobiography, 330.)
- "O Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I entreat Thee, by Our Lady of the Eucharistic
Heart, reign over all souls as Thou desirest."
(Bélanger, Autobiography, 313-314.)
- Jesus said to Bl. Dina Belanger: "My Heart overflows with grace for
souls. Bring souls to My Eucharistic Heart!"
(Bélanger, Autobiography, 313-314.)
- "The veil of mystery has been torn asunder. He is there, my God, infinite
Unity, adorable Trinity, under the appearance of a small piece of bread. Jesus
is there, in His sacred Humanity, His Heart, His precious Blood, His Soul, His
eternal Divinity; He is there, whole and entire, in each Host consecrated
throughout the world and in each fragment of consecrated Host."
(Bélanger, Autobiography, 141.)
- "The more I contemplated the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, the more I
understood that it was the source of all graces, the source of all holiness,
the source of all love, the source of all mercy, the source of all forgiveness,
the source of all peace, the source of all joy."
(Bélanger, Autobiography, 141.)
- The Eucharistic Heart draws me more and more to the Sacred Host. As I pass
near the chapel, I am moved by an irresistible impulse to enter. Near the
tabernacle I experience an indefinable joy. When the Blessed Sacrament is
exposed I am enraptured, paralyzed, as it were, by the Eucharistic Heart. When I
leave the Chapel, I am obliged to wrench myself from the Divine Prisoner.
(Bélanger, Autobiography, 141.)
One day before her Holy Hour, Jesus showed Bl. Dina Belanger a multitude of souls on the precipice of hell. After her Holy Hour, Jesus showed the same souls in the hands of God. He told her that through Holy Hours of prayer a multitude of souls go to Heaven who otherwise would have gone to hell as one person can make up for what is lacking in the lives of others by winning precious efficacious graces for their salvation.

"If souls but understood the Treasure they possess in the Divine
Eucharist, it would be necessary to encircle the tabernacles with the
strongest ramparts for, in the delirium of a devouring and holy hunger,
they would press forward themselves to feed on the Bread of Angels. The
Churches would overflow with adorers consumed with love for the Divine
prisoner no less by night than by day."
