Irony

We all know people like this. Perhaps even ourselves at times if we are honest.

How sad that we would behave in such a way when in our Catholic Church Jesus Himself waits for us, His heart bursting with unconditional love, just wanting us to be with Him and to be happy!
and what joy He experiences when he sees us arrive!

I try to think about how much of an effort I would make to see a friend, my family or Chris....and then remind myself that I must always go further than that when it comes to Our Lord and His Church.

Jesus has remained within the Eucharist for love...of you.

He has remained, knowing how men would treat him... and how you would treat him.

He has remained so that you could eat him, so that you could visit him and tell him what's happening to you; and so that you could talk to him as you pray beside the Tabernacle, and as you receive him sacramentally; and so that you could fall in love more and more each day, and make other souls, many souls, follow the same path.
