St. Jose Maria Rubio, S.J. (1864 to 1929)
Spanish Priest known as the Apostle Of Madrid
The Saints knew that the source of strength for their ministries were the Mass and Eucharistic Adoration. This was especially true of St. Rubio who found intense prayer before our Eucharistic Lord essential before going out to minister to the poor of Madrid. He encouraged Eucharistic Adoration as a daily form of our prayer life and wrote: "Are you truly making an effort to adore God? In this Sacred Host lies the whole of His omnipotence, all His wisdom, the perfect goodness of Jesus Christ, since therein rests His living heart as it is also in heaven. When we adore in this way, we adore in spirit and in truth."

How I wish I could visit the Blessed Sacrament every day, as I used to do in Petersburg, and spend hours in adoration and love.

"When you are totally consumed by the Eucharistic fire, then you will be able more consciously to thank God, who has called you to become part of His family. Then you will enjoy the peace that those who are happy in this world have never experienced, because true happiness, oh young people, does not consist in the pleasures of this world, or in earthly things, but in peace of conscience, which we only have if we are pure of heart and mind,"

Fr. Henry Parkinson (Msgr.) (1852 to 1924)
English Priest
"The hour of (Eucharistic) adoration proclaims emphatically and practically a central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. It gives prominence to those elementary acts of worship, which all must recognize as pre-eminently due to God under the veils of the Most Holy Sacrament: Adoration of His majesty; Thanksgiving for His unbounded goodness; Separation for the perverse willfulness of men; Supplication for all human needs."

St. Józef Sebastian Pelczar (1842 to 1924)
Bishop of Przemysl and Co-founder of the Sister Servants of the Sacred Heart
"From visiting the Blessed Sacrament one gains supernatural wisdom, fervent love, comfort in suffering, strength in temptation, and a happiness that fills the soul. This is part of the sum total of our wealth. Why then do people wonder at the Saints who were so anxious to make visits to the Most Blessed Sacrament? Imitating their example, you too should hasten to visit Our Eucharistic Lord with the same intense desire. One of the happiest moments in your life will be found in your prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. (VS 3, 49-51)."

S.D. Sister Josefa Menendez (1890 to 1923)
20th Century Mystic and Sister of the Society Of The Sacred Heart
Jesus conveyed to Servant of God Sr. Menendez, through many messages, His loneliness in the Blessed Sacrament and the importance of Eucharistic Adoration to console Him - "Contemplate me in the prison (during my Passion) where I spent the greater part of the night...Compare the prison with the Tabernacle...In the prison I endured cold, sleeplessness, hunger and thirst, pain, shame, solitude, and desertion. And there passed before My mind's eye all the tabernacles where in the course of ages I should lack the shelter of love...And how often should I wait for this or that other soul to visit Me in the Blessed Sacrament and receive Me into his heart...how many nights should I spend longing for his coming...but he would let business or carelessness or anxiety for his health get the better of him...and he would not come! Gaze steadfastly upon Him during that night of pain and see that sorrow continued in the loneliness of countless tabernacles and the coldness of many hearts. Comfort Me in My sorrow by keeping Me faithful company..."

Jesus also told Sister Josefa that at the Last Supper "It was bliss for Me to think of all those to whom I should be both Companion and Heavenly Food, of all those who would surround Me to the end of time with adoration, reparation and love."

(Source: Way Of Divine Love book by Sister Josefa Menendez, Jan. 1, 1993, Tan Books Publishers)

Jesus talking to Sr. Menedez - "It is love for souls that keeps Me a prisoner in the Blessed Sacrament, I stay there that all may come and find the comfort they need in the tenderest of Hearts, the best of Fathers, the most faithful of Friends, who will never abandon them. The Holy Eucharist is the invention of Love... Yet how few souls correspond to that love which spends and consumes itself for them."

Jesus talking to Sr. Menedez - "The Eucharist is the invention of Love!. . .Yet how few souls correspond to that love which spends and consumes itself for them!

Blessed Columba Marmion (1858 to 1923)
Irish Monk and author of many Catholic books considered classics
"Wouldn't it indeed be a failure of respect to neglect the divine Guest who awaits us in the tabernacle? He dwells there, really present, He who was present in the crib, at Nazareth, upon the mountains of Judea, at the Last Supper, upon the cross. He is there, the same Christ who healed the lepers, stilled the tempest, and promised to the good thief a place in His kingdom. We find there our Savior, our Friend, our elder Brother, in the fullness of His almighty power, in the ever-fruitful virtue of His mysteries, the infinite superabundance of His merits, and the ineffable mercy of His love."

(Source: "Christ in the Eucharist" by Columba Marmion, 1923, page 12)

"Once you feel the attraction to remain in the silence of adoration in God's presence, you must give yourself entirely to the Holy Spirit and remain there in pure faith. If God gives you no feeling, no sentiment, no distinct thought, just be there before Him in silent love. During such moments He operates insensibly in the soul and does more for her perfection than she could in a lifetime by her own thoughts."

"We show our adoration by going to visit Christ in the tabernacle or exposed in the monstrance. Would it not indeed be a failing in respect to neglect the divine Guest who awaits us? He dwells there, really present, He who was present in the crib, at Nazareth, upon the mountains of Judea, in the supper-room, upon the Cross. It is the same Jesus who said to the Samaritan woman, 'If thou didst know the gift of God!'."

It would not be well to spend all the time in vocal prayer, there should be some meditation, thought or contemplation. Try 'basking in the sun of God's love,' that is, quietly kneeling before the Tabernacle, as you would sit enjoying the warm sunshine, not trying to do anything, except love Him; but realizing that, during all the time you are at His feet, more especially when dry and cold, grace is dropping down upon your soul and you are growing fast in holiness."

Think of the unending good fortune I brought you in my birth: the ability to serve me... to serve me by serving your neighbor, to serve me myself, living there near you in the tabernacle. Not only can you serve me, you can also console me... How happy you should be to be able to console me at every moment of your lives! By becoming so small, so gentle a child, I was crying out to you: Have trust! Come close to me! Do not be afraid of me, come to me, give me what children need: loving embraces. Do not be afraid, do not be so frightened in the presence of such a gentle baby, smiling at you and holding out his arms to you. He is your God, but he is all smiles and gentleness.

"You are, my Lord, in the Holy Eucharist. You are Here, a meter away from me, in this tabernacle!  Your Body, Your Soul, Your humanity, Your divinity, Your whole being is here, in his dual nature.  How close you are my God, my Savior, my Jesus, my Brother, my Spouse, my Beloved!  When you were sitting in the midst of Your apostles, you were not closer to them than you are near to me now, my God!  How happy I am!"

"Prayer is just conversation with God: listening to Him; speaking with Him; gazing upon Him in silence. The best prayer is the one in which there is the most love. Adoration, wordless admiration, that is the most eloquent form of prayer: that wordless admiration which contains the most passionate declaration of love."

"After communion, one should spend at least a quarter of an hour in thanksgiving. This is the most precious time of our life since Jesus Christ really present in us is pleased to fill us, out of unequaled generosity, with his benefits and his virtues. We would show a lack of reverence and acquire guilt for shameless ingratitude were we to occupy our mind, our heart, or our senses with something irrelevant. It is appropriate especially to formulate prayers of gratitude, adoration, offering and petition."
