Sun, symbol of the Holy Eucharist

Jesus, rest your gaze upon me, prepare my soul to receive the kiss of your union, cleanse me. May we live this prayer together, united in every way, in body, in soul, in love and in free will. May this encounter between love created and Love uncreated be a source of Life for all. In this way, hidden in your Love, all the created dissolves in the ardent fire of Love uncreated. Amen. FIAT.

“I have chosen you” (Hg, 2:23)

Passage from “Book of Heaven” by Luisa Piccarreta, the Little Daughter of the Divine Will – 26 February 1927 – third and final section

 In the sun, symbol of the Eucharist, [My Will] gives
Its light,
Its heat,
It gives innumerable goods – but always in silence:
It never says a word, It never gives a reproach, no matter how many horrendous evils It may see.

In the sea instead, in the veils of the water, It makes Its exposition in a different way.
It seems to speak while forming Its murmuring within the veils of the water;
It strikes fear in its tumultuous billows and in the roaring waves;
such that, if It invests ships and people, It buries them in the depth of the sea, and no one can resist it.
My Will in the sea
makes the exposition of Its power,
and speaks in the murmuring;

It speaks in the billows, It speaks in the gigantic waves,
calling man to love It
and to fear It.
And in seeing Itself not listened to,
It makes the exposition of Divine Justice,
and changing those veils into storm, It hurls Itself at man, inexorably.

“Oh! If creatures paid attention
to all the expositions that My Will makes
in the whole Creation,
they should remain always in act of adoration – to adore My Will exposed
in the flowery fields, in which It spreads Its fragrances;
in the trees loaded with fruits, in which It spreads the variety of Its sweetnesses.

There is not one created thing in which It does not make Its Divine and special exposition;
and since creatures do not pay to It the due honours,
it is your task to maintain the perpetual adoration of the expositions that the Supreme Fiat makes in the whole Creation.
You, My daughter,
are she who offers herself as the perpetual adorer of this Will
with no adorer
and no requital of love on the part of creatures.”

Let us pray

Lord, today You call us to be Your adoring children in all things, in the Life of your Will in Creation. Our desire is to respond with a “yes”, wholesome and full. Teach us to adore You in the way that You want to be adored.

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.
