Look at the crucifix…
When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host, you understand how much Jesus loves you now.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
Visits to Jesus…
Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and the devil will be powerless against you.
–Saint John Bosco (1815-1888)
Repose with Jesus…
To withdraw from creatures and repose with Jesus in the Tabernacle is my delight; there I can hide myself and seek rest. There I find a life which I cannot describe, a joy which I cannot make others comprehend, a peace such as is found only under the hospitable roof of our best Friend.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Pray in silent devotion…
As far as possible, you should pray in quiet silent devotion. Try to have a favorite topic of prayer, such as a devotion to the passion of Jesus, the Blessed Sacrament, awareness of the divine presence: go directly to Jesus without too much fuss.
–Saint Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868)
Long for the Blessed Sacrament…
Spiritually good people, pure in heart, who long for the Blessed Sacrament but cannot receive at the time, can receive spiritually… even a hundred times a day, in sickness and in health, with immeasurable grace and profit.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
We will see Jesus…
If we approach with faith, we too will see Jesus… for the Eucharistic table takes the place of the crib. Here the Body of the Lord is present, wrapped not in swaddling clothes but in the rays of the Holy Spirit.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
