Jesus Christ is the Way and the Truth and the Life in the Eucharist, where he is present body, blood, soul, and divinity. He dwells in the tabernacle and calls us to himself.
He wants to enlighten, instruct, inspire, comfort, uplift, and encourage everyone. “Come to me,” he says, “all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28).
St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:
Realize that you may gain more in a quarter of an hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament than in all the other spiritual practices of the day. It is true that in every place, God hears those who pray, but it is also true that Jesus more readily dispenses his graces to those who adore him in the Blessed Sacrament.
Fidelity to Eucharistic Adoration guarantees and completes the fruit of the meditation and of the Eucharistic Celebration. However, it is important to communicate intimately with Jesus Christ, the Divine Master, during Adoration.
p. 74The Pauline life was born from the tabernacle. This is how it is to be lived: in such a way as to consume ourselves.
From the tabernacle, everything; without the tabernacle, nothing.
What is the Visit? It is the meeting of our soul and of all our being with Jesus.
It is the creature meeting its Creator;
the disciple before the Divine Master;
the patient with the Doctor of souls;
the poor appealing to the Rich One;
the thirsty drinking at the Font;
the weak presenting themselves to the Almighty;
the tempted seeking a sure Refuge;
the blind searching for the Light;
the friend who goes to the true Friend;
the lost sheep sought by the Divine Shepherd;
the heart led astray who finds the Way;
the foolish who finds Wisdom;
the bride who finds the Spouse of the soul;
the nothing who finds the All;
the afflicted who finds the Consoler;
the youth who finds life’s meaning.
It is all of this: the shepherds at the manger, Magdalene at the house of Simon, Nicodemus arrives by night; the holy conversations of the Samaritan, of Zacchaeus, of Philip, and of all the apostles with Jesus, especially during the last week of his earthly life and after the resurrection.
p. 75One approaches Jesus in the Eucharist as the Mediator between God and humanity, the Priest of the Father, the Victim of expiation, the Messiah come to earth, the Word of God, the Shepherd, the Way and Truth and Life, the Savior of the world.
The Visit is the practice that most directs and influences our entire life and the whole apostolate.
It gathers the fruits of all the other practices of piety and brings them to maturity.
It is the great means for living the whole Christ. It is the great means to overcome the difficulties of adolescence and to form the personality in Christ.
It is the secret of our transformation in Christ: “Christ lives in me.”
It means experiencing the relationship of Jesus with the Father and with humanity.
It is the guarantee of perseverance.
The true Visit is the life-blood that pervades all our time, occupations, thoughts, relationships, etc.
It is the lymph or vital fluid that influences everything and communicates its spirit even to the most
ordinary things. It shapes a spirituality that is lived and communicated. It forms the spirit of prayer that, when cultivated, transforms every work into a prayer.
