Life is joyful, so it is to be proclaimed, celebrated, and served. THE MESSAGE OF LIFE IS NOT OPTIONAL, OR ADDED TO THE GOSPEL, BUT IS AT THE HEART OF THE GOSPEL. THE GOSPEL OF LIFE IS SIMPLY THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR HE IS LIFE. The Church is inescapably pro-life precisely because she is feminine. The Church is the Bride of Christ and Mother of believers — and, in fact, of all humanity.

Once you understand the Eucharist, you can never leave the Church. Not because the Church wont let you but because your heart wont let you.

Fall in love with the Eucharist and everything else will fall into place.

A Visit to the Adoration Chapel:

As soon as I walk in I’m like

And pretty soon I’m either like

because I’m so convicted of how I’m sinful and concupiscent and blaaaah

Or I’m all

And I remember how good God is and all He’s blessed me with and how His love never fails and suddenly

So basically either way I’m pretty much like

but also

1. Speak as little as possible about yourself. 2. Keep busy with your own affairs and not those of others. 3. Avoid curiosity. 4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others. 5. Accept small irritations with good humor. 6. Do not dwell on the faults of others. 7. Accept censures even if unmerited. 8.

Do not seek to be admired and loved. 13. Do not protect yourself behind your own dignity. 14. Give in, in discussions, even when you are right. 15. Choose always the more difficult task.

Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence. —Saint Francis de Sales

Has this happen to you before during communion?

[by-grace-of-god]

Mary, Mother of the Eucharist — She is the model of Eucharistic Life, who teaches us to listen and keep the Word of God (Christ), so that we can later be and do all that the Father wants and desires of us. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word” (Lk 1:38). To listen to the Virgin Mary is to love and obey God, she imprints in the heart of the pilgrim, “Do whatever he tells you” (Jn 2:5).

My Lord and My God

[treasured-wealth-deactivated201]

The moment when the Lord comes down and transforms bread and wine to become his Body and Blood cannot fail to stun, to the very core of their being, those who participate in the Eucharist by faith and prayer. When this happens, we cannot do other than fall to our knees and greet him. The Consecration is the moment of God’s great “actio” in the world for us. It draws our eyes and hearts on high. For a moment the world is silent, everything is silent, and in that silence we touch the eternal - for one beat of the heart we step out of time into God’s being-with-us
