Eucharistic Adoration - St. P. J. Eymard

“There is nothing greater or holier we can do on earth than Eucharistic adoration” St. Peter Julian Eymard.

Eucharistic adoration is our Faith in the hidden Jesus veiled in the Sacred host. 

The Holy Eucharist is Jesus’ Gift to us. 

St. Julian Eymard urged people to come, receive Jesus in the Eucharist with love. Spend time in prayer before Him and spread the love of Jesus.

In his words: “Go to the good Lord very simply, with the surrender of a small child. Tell the good Lord what you are thinking, what you want, what is upsetting you. O how happy we become when we discover this interior conversation with our Lord! We carry our treasure everywhere. He becomes the center of our heart and life.”

His thought: Our whole life ought to be drawn to the Eucharist like a magnet. Proclaim that the Eucharist is the sacrament of love, the goal of Christian perfection, and the means as well as the model of religious life.

“The Blessed Sacrament is everything!”

EUCHARISTIC MEDITATION as explained-St. P. J. Eymard

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.        Matthew 5:3

How admirable is the poverty of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament where He deprives Himself of all glory, of all freedom and where He depends on the charity of man and is at his mercy! That is true love!

Our Lord relied for everything on the power of His Father.

We shall practise poverty quite naturally and make it our condition. We shall want to depend on God for everything:

On His light for our mind,

On His grace for our will,

On His love for our heart,

On His Cross for our body.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

I always share with Jesus my innermost thoughts. Jesus speaks with me, and Jesus is always gentle in His ways. 

When Jesus speaks, your heart desires to hear Him. You will make time to be with Him. His words are tender. God keeps me simple!

Jesus, He is the King of my Heart!

The time we spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time ever. Each moment with Jesus brings untold graces. 

O Christ, let me glorify Your love and mercy to the last breath of my life.

In the words of St. Alphonsus Liguori - “Know also that you will probably gain more by praying fifteen minutes before the Blessed Sacrament than by all the other spiritual exercises of the day. True, Our Lord hears our prayers anywhere, for He has made the promise, ‘Ask, and you shall receive,’ but He has revealed to His servants that those who visit Him in the Blessed Sacrament will obtain a more abundant measure of grace.”

Excerpts from St. Peter Julian Eymard

LET US LOVE THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

• “Love our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament with all the intensity of love.”
• “The heart leaps towards the Blessed Sacrament… the heart would burst its walls of flesh, if it could, to unite itself more intimately to our Lord.”
• “Look at the saints. Their love makes them suffer. It sets them on fire; a fire that consumes them…”
• “We must love the Good God beyond all measures….”
• “'I must come to visit Him. I must not leave Him alone; He loves me too much!'”
• “But with the Eucharist, we must abide and live in our Lord!”
• “Come! Let us forget ourselves and give ourselves to this good Saviour? Let us sacrifice ourselves a bit!”

THE EUCHARIST OUR WAY

• “Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is the unchanging way to holiness. In the Blessed Sacrament Jesus is the model of every virtue…”
• “There is nothing as beautiful as Jesus in the Eucharist. Our Lord Lives and acts in the Eucharist. Look at Him, study Him, and imitate Him. ... as we grow to know His voice better, and our hearts become more detached and more in sympathy with Him, our Lord reveals Himself in a clearer light and with an intimacy known only to those who love Him.”
• “All our virtues must come from the Eucharist. For instance, if you wish to practice humility; see how Jesus practices it in the Blessed Sacrament. Start with this…”
• “Self-abasement-(meaning--behaving in a very humble manner) is a characteristic of Eucharistic holiness”.
