While we are searching far and wide in this world
for something to satisfy our hunger,
God is waiting to feed us the one thing
that truly satisfied us: Himself.
--Matthew Kelly
O most Sacred, most loving Heart of Jesus,
Thou are concealed in the Holy Eucharist,
and Thou beatest for us still…
I worship Thee then with all my best love and awe,
with my fervent affection,
with my most subdued, most resolved will.
O my God, when Thou dost condescend
to suffer me to receive Thee,
to eat and drink thee,
and Thou for a while takest up Thy abode within me,
O make my heart beat with Thy Heart.
Purify it of all that is earthly,
all that is proud and sensual,
all that is hard and cruel,
of all perversity, of all disorder, of all deadness.
So fill it with Thee, that neither the events of the day
nor the circumstances of the time
may have power to ruffle it,
but that in Thy love and Thy fear
it may have peace.
qtd. in Dilexit nos, ¶26
