His love has no sunset...

 "Love is never finished." Pope Benedict XVI

"The presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is proof that 

His love for us has no sunset. He is the Desired of the 

everlasting hills, and he puts into our hearts 

the desire to live close to him.

The stresses and hurts and partings of life often bear down on us, 

and we may tend to feel alone as when the sun has gone down. 

The words of St. Augustine can lift us 

"He neither rises nor sets because he abides always." 

So our lives do not have to go down into the shadows.

It was at evening time that the risen Lord restored the 

desolate spirits of two disciples by revealing his presence 

to them "in the breaking of the bread." They pleaded with 

him "Stay with us, for it is towards evening." (Lk 24,29). 

We too can plead with him, "Lord, be with us, 

both at sunrise and at sunset..."

In the Holy Eucharist the only Son of God, Jesus Christ,

 fulfills his promise to be with us always. 

What consolation, how could we be lonely?  

From all the sunsets to all the sunrises 

"He neither rises nor sets 

because he abides always." (St. Augustine)."
