Part 1 of 7
The Divine Invitation
Simplicity of Heart in the Presence of JesusJesus Speaks to Your Heart
It is not necessary, My child, to know much in order to please Me; it is enough that you love Me much.
Speak to Me here as you would speak with your most intimate friend, to your mother, or to your brother.
I know your secrets, your desires, and your weaknesses; yet I desire to hear them from your own lips. Cast aside all anxiety and fear, for here before the altar I wait for you with open arms.
Questions for Heartfelt Contemplation
- What worries or distractions did I bring with me across the threshold of this sanctuary?
- Can I set aside pretense and let Jesus look upon me with His boundless mercy right now?
Suggested Vocal or Mental Prayer
“Lord Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.”
