A Surprise from Our Lord

Grace has shared with us an email with her testimony (on the 17^th March 2020), which I forward to you. May the Lord bless us and keep us all in his Love.

Grace's testimony

Good evening brothers and sisters in Christ!

I am particularly glad tonight, because I have a message for you from the good Jesus.

Having been able to attend mass this evening, and to receive communion (not like yesterday, when I hadn't been to confession), I thought of all of those who could not receive the Eucharist. In the moment when I received communion, the priest, in spite of himself, gave me two hosts. Do you see the meaning? I accidentally received Jesus twice today, for this day and for yesterday (I missed mass yesterday) for you!

But since there in no coincidence in the Divine Will, we can see here that Jesus has an ardent desire to give himself to us! That he watches over us, that he uses those who can still receive communion to distribute his graces to those who wish to but are prevented from it. The missed communions are not lost! The reunions are coming soon, let's imagine the overflowing of love that they will cause! The double graces that will pour down!

Meanwhile, let's welcome Jesus in His Will. Indeed, Jesus is present in the Eucharist and His Will which contains everything and even his Most Holy Life, is present in all things. His presence envelops us and his love invades us through every created thing.

Let's persevere in praying for one another. May God bless us.

Grace.

Act of Spiritual Communion (by Mgr Raymond Centène)

Lord Jesus, I firmly believe that You are present in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. I love You more than anything and I desire You with all my soul. “My body longs for you, like a dry, weary land without water.” (Psalm 62) I want to receive You today with all the love of the Virgin Mary, with the joy and the fervor of the Saints. Since I am prevented from receiving You sacramentally, come at least spiritually to visit my soul. In this time of absence, may this Eucharistic fast to which I am subjected bring me in communion with Your sufferings, especially with the feeling of abandon that You felt on the Cross when You cried out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” May this sacramental fast bring me in communion with the sentiments of Your Most Holy Mother and of St Joseph when they lost You in the temple of Jerusalem; with the sentiments of Your Holy Mother when she received You, lifeless, at the foot of the Cross. May this Eucharistic fast bring me in communion with the suffering of Your mystical Body, the Church, throughout the world where persecution, or the absence of priests, are obstacles to sacramental life. May this Eucharistic fast bring me to understand that the Eucharist is an over-abundant gift of Your love and not a given for my spiritual comfort. May this Eucharistic fast be a reparation for all the times when I received you with a heart that was badly prepared, cold, indifferent, without love nor thanksgiving. May this Eucharistic fast ever increase my hunger to receive You truly and substantially in Your body, Your blood, Your soul and Your divinity when the circumstances will allow me. And until then, Lord Jesus, come to visit us spiritually through Your grace to strengthen us in our trials. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus.
