Sometimes, it’s just plain helpful to hear what others have to say about a topic. This is especially true when those “others” bear the title “Saint.” Take one or more of these reflections into your next visit with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
“In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. Be assiduous in the prayer of adoration and teach it to the faithful. It is a source of comfort and light, particularly to those who are suffering.” -Pope Saint Benedict XVI
“A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.” -St. Pio of Pietrelcina
“Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: 'What will convert America and save the world?' My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.” -St. Teresa of Calcutta
“What does the poor man do at the rich man's door, the sick man in the presence of his physician, the thirsty man at a limpid stream? What they do, I do before the Eucharistic God. I pray. I adore. I love.” -St. Francis of Assisi
“Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light.” -St. Ambrose
“Until we have a passionate love for our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament we shall accomplish nothing.” -St. Peter
“If people spent one hour per week in Eucharistic Adoration, abortion would be ended.” -St. Teresa of Calcutta
“I understand that, each time we contemplate with desire and devotion the Host in which is hidden Christ's Eucharistic Body, we increase our merits in heaven and secure special joys to be ours later in the beatific vision of God.” -St. Gertrude the Great
“The best, the surest and the most effective way of establishing PEACE on the face of the earth is through the great power of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.” -Pope Saint John Paul II
