for a moment that we are living in Jesus’ time and He has invited us to
visit with Him and spend some quiet time getting to know Him better.
Being aware who He was, we would be humbled and honored by such an

blood, soul and divinity – in the Holy Eucharist. Although Jesus comes
to us under the appearance of bread and wine, His presence is as real to
us NOW as He was flesh-and-blood-real to His disciples when he walked
this earth. He can perform miracles, heal us, teach us, and love us. We
can talk to Him and He can speak to us through His Word and through the
Holy Spirit who lives in us through our baptism and confirmation."

coming of Jesus to us in the Eucharist is assurance of His promise of
final victory: "Behold I come to make all things new."

Eucharist...fix your eyes on Him who is the light; bring your hearts

"Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30
years out of 33 in silence; who began his public life by spending 40
days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a
mountain in silence. He who spoke with authority, now spends his
earthly life in silence. Let us adore Jesus in the eucharistic
silence."

Blessed Sacrament and He will fill you with His Strength and Power."
