Jesus Christ shows us an infinite love in the Blessed Sacrament where He is so little known by men and still less loved even by those who know Him. The focus of this feast day is to grieve over the extreme ingratitude of men and their indifference toward Jesus Christ truly present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. We must also learn to make reparation by our own acts of love, adoration and visits to the Blessed Sacrament.
What then do we do to repay this love?! We must appear before Him with the greatest reverence. We often appreciate our God so very little, we regard Him with indifference, and time spent in His presence passes ever so slowly for us! The first Christians would have considered it the most blissful time of their lives if they could have spent days and nights in the church, to praise God and weep for their sins! Nowadays it is so very different! It is so hard for us to spend just a few minutes in God’s presence and we see so much indifference and frivolity in our Catholic churches.
Let us beg God for the grace to love Him as He deserves!
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
