It is a Divine initiative
Saint Mother Teresa was known for her immense devotion to the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist.
>> She found her strength for her services of mercy, by being united and spending time with the Eucharistic Lord…
… everyday!
She has spoken very beautifully about the Holy Eucharist:
She says: “When Jesus came into the world, he loved it so much that he gave His Life for it.
>> He wanted to satisfy our hunger for God.
And what did He do?
>> He made himself the ‘Bread of Life.’
He became small, fragile and defenceless for us.
Bits of bread can be so small that…
… even a small child can chew it!
The Lord says, “No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me” (Jn 6:44)
Our attraction to the Eucharist is not merely a personal devotion…
… it is a Divine initiative
… it is a Holy gift
It is this devotion and union with the Lord, alone, that can make us also, in turn, a Eucharistic people – breaking and giving ourselves – for the welfare and salvation of the world!
May the words of St Francis de Sales inspire us:
“When the bee has gathered the dew of heaven and the earth’s sweetest nectar from the flowers, it turns it into honey, then hastens to its hive.
Let us seek to satisfy our hunger for God…
… by growing in our love for Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist – the Bread of Life!”
