Consider that our Lord Jesus Christ has chosen to remain always with us in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar in order to share His infinite love and treasures with us. By giving Himself to us, Christ has willed to give us the very Source of these blessings. It is only in the Blessed Eucharist that we are able to find every possible kind of blessing.
Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament imparts His blessings at all times and on everyone who approaches Him. "Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you." (Matt. 11:28). God in His infinite love and mercy chooses to acknowledge our infirmities and weaknesses. He in turn gives Himself to us as our nourishment and consolation in order to give us strength and combat our evils.
It isn't enough for our Lord to give us His Sacred Heart as a symbol of His infinite love. He also wishes to be our strength and defense against all the efforts of our enemies. Today it is good to meditate on the question: What could Christ possibly give to us that He hasn't already given when he gives us Himself in the Eucharist?
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Jeffery A. Fasching
