"The very words we use, a 'visit to the Blessed Sacrament,'
reminds us that we go to a living
person,
and that He
is
no other than our blessed Savior." - Fr Francis A.
Spencer,
O.P
"The life of our dear Lord in the sacred Host is
most active.
He remains
still in the tabernacle, it is true,
but
graces
are
flying forth from His Heart in inconceivable
abundance.
From the
tabernacle, Our Lord works miracles both
on souls and
bodies, as He did of old in Galilee and Judea."
...
"Before the tabernacle great
saints have
communed with God
upon
the heights which we
may never reach;
there, too, sinners have come,
and touched by the grace that goes out from Him,
found the contrite
and humbled heart which He will never despise.
Think of the millions of the
faithful
who day by
day
come into the house of God
to pray.
Think of the religious to whom this very presence is as the air
they breathe,
the very life and sustenance of their souls.
No one shall every know all
that this adorable
Sacrament is for
human souls,
raising all
our hearts
to that one Heart
which is the center and source of grace and
love."
Fr. Francis
Aloysius Spencer,
O.P.
