BREAD OF LIFE

BREAD OF LIFE
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. (john 6: 50)
Thursday, September 20, 2007 "O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the testament of God’s mercy for us" Folks, in this day and age when most people don't give a hoot about the Lord, and still others insult Him in a myriad ways, and even more dare to attack His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, we'll do well to remember and pray these words recorded in the Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska (the Apostle of the Divine Mercy): O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the testament of God’s mercy for us, and especially for poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus as proof of infinite mercy for us, and especially to poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained life eternal and of infinite mercy, dispensed in abundance to us and especially to poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the mercy of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit toward us, and especially toward poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the infinite price of mercy which will compensate for all our debts, and especially those of poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the fountain of living water which springs from infinite mercy for us, and especially for poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the fire of purest love which blazes forth from the bosom of the Eternal Father, as from an abyss of infinite mercy for us, and especially for poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the medicine for all our infirmities, flowing from infinite mercy, as from a fount, for us and especially for poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom is contained the union between God and us through His infinite mercy for us, and especially for poor sinners. O Blessed Host, in whom are contained all the sentiments of the most sweet Heart of Jesus toward us, and especially poor sinners. O Blessed Host, our only hope in all the sufferings and adversities of life. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of darkness and of storms within and without. O Blessed Host, our only hope in life and at the hour of our death. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of adversities and floods of despair. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of falsehood and treason. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of the darkness and godlessness which inundate the earth. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the longing and pain in which no one will understand us. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the toil and monotony of everyday life. O Blessed Host, our only hope amid the ruin of our hopes and endeavors. O Blessed Host, our only hope in the midst of the ravages of the enemy and the efforts of hell. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when the burdens are beyond my strength and I find my efforts are fruitless. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when storms toss my heart about and my fearful spirit tends to despair. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when my heart is about to tremble and mortal sweat moistens my brow. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when everything conspires against me and black despair creeps into my soul. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when my eyes will begin to grow dim to all temporal things and, for the first time, my spirit will behold the unknown worlds. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when my tasks will be beyond my strength and adversity will become my daily lot. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when the practice of virtue will appear difficult for me and my nature will grow rebellious. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when hostile blows will be aimed against me. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when my toils and efforts will be misjudged by others. O Blessed Host, I trust in You when Your judgments will resound over me; it is then that I will trust in the sea of Your mercy.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL YOU GIVE ME?

I am always with you. I am present among you and wait. I long for your presence with Me. Day and night, I am always there for you.

How much time will you give Me? I am waiting, full of longing for the moments of meeting with you. And they are often so short, so fleeting, and often your heart is elsewhere. How precious is the time I have given you. It is of eternal value for you and for others. Use it, give it to Me.


To what extent you so often place much value on your earthly wishes and desires. How much effort you put into them, and yet they pass. You have time for so many and such useless things that pass away and disappoint.

Against this, is not every hour you give Me comfort and strength for you? Is this not time that multiplies itself into eternity, a time in which your longing brings you to Me, a time in which your love stretches into eternity, because it is united with my love?

LORD as You will, let it be done to me, and as you will, let all things come to me. Grant only that Your will be plain to me.

LORD, when You will, let it be time for me, and when You will, just give the sign to me, now and in all eternity.

LORD, what You will, let me embrace, Your will can only bring me grace; in You my one true resting place.

LORD, since You will it, I embrace it; and since you will it, I can face it. Into Your hands my heart I place.
