When we pass by the tabernacle, we should reflect on all the abominations that were committed against Christ under the Sacred Species the night before by impious men in sinful gatherings. After such a night of insult and blasphemy, Christ’s face once more covered with spit and filth, how deeply does He feel the need of being welcomed by His priests with affectionate compassion and loving hearts. My brothers, pray for your priests! Christ is in the holy tabernacle to lavish favors on all His children, but especially upon His priests.
Do not our hearts feel the need of support in difficult times, on bad days when everything goes wrong, when everything is pain and opposition? How gladly Christ would support us if we would simply go and find Him in the tabernacle! The human heart longs for the comfort of real friendship. Go then and encounter Christ! He is our brother and friend.
In Christ,
Fr. Jeffery A. Fasching
