It is up to us... to tell.... (EASTER TUESDAY)

So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those

entrusted with the secret things of God.  Now it is required that those

who have been given a trust must prove faithful.  ...

You are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! - I Cor 4: 1,2,10

"Our people are becoming like Mary of Magdela

when she came to the tomb. 

'They have taken the Lord from the tomb,

and we don't know where they put Him' (Jn 20:2).  
It is up to us... 
to tell our people where our Risen Savior is. 

    The Blessed Sacrament is our Risen Savior

with all the power of His love and mercy flowing

out to those who come into His presence! 

This is where we must run, like Peter and John. 

This is where we must bring everyone. 

For each hour will advance the day

when the light of His love and mercy will shine out,

and then like Him, His people will be resurrected."

Our companion ... (Easter Tuesday)

All who are thirsty, come to the waters, says the Lord.
Though you have no money, come and drink with joy. 

- Cf Is 55:1 (Today's Entrance Antiphon)

"We have Him so near in the Blessed Sacrament,

where He is already glorified

and where we don't have to gaze upon Him
as being so tired and worn out,

bleeding, wearied by His journeys,

persecuted by those for whom He did so much good,

and not believed in by the Apostles. …

Behold Him here without suffering, 

full of glory, before ascending into heaven, 

strengthening some, encouraging others,

our companion in the Most Blessed Sacrament."

St Teresa of Avila

Still Life of Flowers and Grapes Encircling a Monstrance ~ Jan van Kessel (1670)

 

"Our people are becoming like Mary of Magdela

when she came to the tomb. 

'They have taken the Lord from the tomb,

and we don't know where they put Him' (Jn 20:2).  

It is up to us ... to tell our people where our Risen Savior is. 

    The Blessed Sacrament is Our Risen Savior

with all the power of His love and mercy flowing

out to those who come into His presence! 

This is where we must run, like Peter and John. 

This is where we must bring everyone. 

For each hour will advance the day

when the light of His love and mercy will shine out,

and then like Him, His people will be resurrected."
