Look Up! Look Up With the Eyes of Your Mind, Heart and Soul!

en t


“When the Host is held on high and a chalice lifted…look up! Look up and see what Mary saw.  See a naked man squirming as He bleeds against a blackened sky; see a battered human body, writhing on a tree, prisoned there by savage spikes that have torn through Sacred hands and feet; see thorn-tortured head tossing from side to side as anguished torso labors, lifts and strains; see the eyes of God roll towards heaven beseeching, as broken lips blurt out that soul piercing cry: “My God, My God, Why has Thou forsaken Me?” What is this?  This is the Mass.  This is Crucifixion.  This is what Mary saw at the elevation of Christianity’s first Mass.  This is what you should see at the Elevation of every Mass!” 

(From  The Way to God by Father M. Raymond, O.C.S.O.)

    For anyone wondering where the picture was taken, it was taken at Eglise Saint-Michel in Fribourg, Switzerland

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)

Become Living Love

We know how much blessing has come from the silent adoration in our churches, we know that the greatest saints and charity have been nourished by adoration of Christ, who is present, because in adoring Him they learned His love, they ate and drank His love fully and completely, and they themselves became living love.  (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI ) [My most recent book, I Thirst For Your Love , has been awarded a Seal of Approval by the Catholic Writers Guild,  and is available here .]
