Love has no go-between

JESUS WITH HOST: COMPOSITE

 
"Our Lord sends neither angels nor ministers to assure us of His love; He comes in person. Love will have no go-between. And so He perpetuates Himself only to tell us over and over again: 'I love you. You see that I love you!'

Our Lord was so afraid we might forget Him that He took up His abode among us. He made His home with us so that we might not be able to think of Him without thinking of His love. By giving Himself thus and insisting on this gift, He hoped not to be forgotten.

            Whoever gives serious thought to the Eucharist, and especially whoever partakes of it, cannot help feeling that our Lord loves him. He feels that in Him he has a father. He feels that he is loved as a child and that he has a right to come to his Father and speak to Him. In church, at the foot of the tabernacle, he is in his Father's home."  

St. Peter Julian Eymard

  2. Like I've said before,John... you have an eye and a heart for 'the good stuff'! I did send this image once before - a couple of years ago - but it was worthy of a 'recycle'. Enjoy this day of the Lord, the lord of days.
