A Servant of the Most Blessed Sacrament Was Created for Our Lord.pdf My Sisters, this morning we will meditate on the truth that you were created uniquely for our Lord, and therefore you must belong totally to him. My Sisters, don’t think that you were created for yourselves. If you were created for yourselves, you would be your own purpose. But a created being cannot be its own end. You were not created to be happy in yourself. You might say: I was created for heaven, to be happy. Let us be clear: yes, if you seek happiness in a secondary way.

About Direction.pdf Direction should take place preferably after a few days of retreat, when you are more recollected. At this time you are not sufficiently recollected; wait a while. This direction is not about your sins, but about your defects. Talk about your defects. I presume that you know them. To make known your defects, if you know them, you begin by telling them as you know them, and then the confessor, who has the grace, will complete what you say. You may know your defects, but you don’t have the Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

About Your Eucharistic Goal.pdf Understand before all else the excellence of this Eucharistic service, in order to acquire all its perfection. You are Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, and your principal work is perpetual adoration at the feet of God hidden in the Eucharist, in a spirit of love, and by the exercise of adoration, thanksgiving, supplication and reparation. This was Mary's life after the ascension of her divine Son. She spent the remainder of her days at the foot of the tabernacle, honoring the virtues of Jesu Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

Admonition. Spiritual Direction. Religious Practices.pdf You should talk about your external defects, because our character, our routine, and our forgetfulness can fool us. That’s why fraternal correction should warn us about these external defects. We should not make a big problem about admonitions. We should never include interior defects – the interior conscience, temptations, and sins are the concern of the confessor – but there may be transgressions of the rule and external acts. When the defects are internal, you know that failures hap Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

Adoration by Means of the Four Ends of the Sacrifice.pdf I. Act of adoration Acknowledge the presence of Jesus. Adore him with all your strength and with all your senses; offer him the homage of your heart and of your life.

Adoration in Spirit and in Truth.pdf Our Lord said: The heavenly Father seeks adorers who will worship him in spirit and in truth (cf. Jn 4:23). Therefore, there are adorers in spirit, spiritual adorers, who adore him in truth. What does that mean? These are the ones who adore him perfectly well, adorers who are no longer attached to the earth, but who adore like the angels in spirit. These are the only adorers that the heavenly Father loves, searches for, and desires. Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

Adoration of Recollection. Exercise Silence and Victimhood.pdf There are three kinds of adoration of recollection. The practice of adoration. We practice all the acts that are part of adoration. This can be called a difficult adoration. We seek with difficulty as though we had lost our Lord. Our Lord also seems to be hiding. We do not see him; like Magdalene searching for our Lord in the excitement of love (cf. Jn 20:11- 18), but with a virtue that was too active. She was uneasy, she could not see him, and she merely kept on crying and practicing ex Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

Adoration. Mission of Prayer. Reparation.pdf among your actions there is one that holds first place, and everything else is subordinated to it: that royal action is adoration. You are here only for adoration; all other activities are only accessory or preparations for adoration. All your piety is only to bring you to Eucharistic adoration; all your virtues are only conditions for your vocation. The love that you have received is to prepare you to come and practice it at the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. All your actions are o Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

Adoration. Mission of Prayer.pdf But what is adoration? It is the activity of heaven here on earth; it is what the angels and saints are doing: they adore God, the immolated Lamb on his throne, as their creator and savior. In order to adore him, they prostrate themselves at the foot of the throne and say: Worthy are you, O Lord, to receive glory, honor and power, because you purchased us with your blood (cf. Rv 5:9,12). Since they are all kings, they take their crowns and place them at his feet, to do homage to him. When th Click below to view the whole content continue reading |

Advent.pdf Here we are, my Sisters, in the season of Advent. Let us enter into the sentiments of the Church. The best of all pieties is that which is in relation to the spirit of the Church, because each liturgical feast has its own grace and virtue. The object of the Church’s cult is to honor our Lord in his various mysteries, then the Blessed Virgin and the saints. That is why each season has its grace, each day has its mystery. Pious souls follow the devotion of the Church. […] Click below to view the whole content continue reading |
