SACRED HEART DEVOTION DAY 29

Sacred Heart of Jesus and reception of Holy Communion

St. Theresa has often said that the day Jesus, Son of God instituted the Holy Eucharist and Priesthood is the ‘Day of Love.’ Let us examine how this sacrament was instituted. On the night He was handed over, Jesus took bread in his pure and holy hands, lifted up His eyes to Heaven, to You the adorable Father, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying: “This is my body which is broken for You for the forgiveness of sins. Take this all of you and eat it.” Likewise, taking the cup, He gave thanks, blessed it, and gave it to them saying: This is my Blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. Take this all of you and drink from it.”

O devotees of Sacred Heart! Listen to the sweet voice of Jesus. He is present in this Holy Sacrament for us to approach Him often and eat and drink His Body and Blood. He has promised remission of sins, and everlasting life to those who eat His Body. For Jesus himself has proclaimed,” Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him on the last day.”(John 6:54) Hence our fathers decided in the ‘Council of Trent’ that believers should if possible receive Holy Eucharist daily.

In the words of St. Margaret Mary,” I earnestly desire to receive the Holy Communion. If I have to cross over fire to receive Jesus in the communion I will gladly do so. I am ready to accept all the sorrows of the world than losing this eternal bliss.” In this context let us see what St. Francis de Sales thinks:” For the sanctity of the righteous, for the repentance of sinners, for zealous priests, for the stability of religious in vocation, for the health of the sick, and for the married in fulfilling their commitments, the worthy reception of communion is the right way.” Jesus has instituted seven sacraments. But He has showered His blessings only partly in all of them except in the Holy Eucharist. Here, He gives Himself fully as a remedy for our infirmities and as divine food to sustain our weakness so that we may nourish the life of grace and being more and more purified may attain everlasting happiness in heaven.

All you devoted soul! Let us receive this Living Bread with humility, faith and devotion. Let us knock unceasingly on the Sacred Heart present in the Holy Eucharist to find strength and antidote for daily faults and anxiety.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, present in regal sacrament of the Holy Eucharist! O Divine Banquet, full of goodness! Bread of Angels! Delight of heavenly hosts! I adore You. I love You with my whole heart. I firmly believe that You are truly present in the Eucharist. Lord! Words cannot recount the infinite grace You pour upon me. Who can worthily receive You considering Your unmatched glory? Eternal Father Jesus! Patient and full of mercy, fill me with Your grace. Let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon You worthily. O sweetest Jesus! Let my last words be to call upon You and Your most beloved Mother and my last morsel Your Divine Body which is the living Bread. Lord! Help me to obtain these favors.

Grant to Your Church, O Lord, assurance of freedom, protect our Supreme Pontiff and make haste that all may know the haven of truth, and have unity of faith, so that there may soon be one fold and one Shepherd! Lord, be merciful to the unfortunate sinners, console the souls in Purgatory and be merciful to me, your unworthy servant.
