"Let us join together and go to Jesus in the tabernacle.
Before him I feel myself as exalting;
I am with Jesus, I am before my Love.
Thus the tabernacle opens, the Seraphim bow."
St. Gemma Galgani
“The Blessed Sacrament is the magnet of souls.
There is a mutual attraction between Jesus and the souls of men.
Mary drew Him down from heaven.
Our nature attracted Him rather than the nature of angels.
Our misery caused Him to stoop to our lowness.
Even our sins had a sort of attraction for the abundance
of His mercy and the predilection of His grace.
Our repentance wins Him to us.
Our love makes earth a paradise to Him;
and our souls lure Him as gold lures the miser,
with irresistible fascination.”
Fr. Frederick William Faber
