In this episode, Dr. Edward Sri shares about his experience at the National Eucharistic Congress. He encourages everyone to start doing one thing that he is confident will increase Eucharistic devotion.

Snippet from the Show
“Do you realize that Jesus is there in the Blessed Sacrament expressly for you, for you alone? He burns with desire to come into your heart!”
-St. Therese of Lisieux

St. Padre Pio

“A Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament is worth more than a thousand years of human glory.”

St. Therese of Lisieux

“Do you realize that Jesus is there in the Blessed Sacrament expressly for you, for you alone? He burns with desire to come into your heart!”

St. Teresa of Avila

“In this world it is impossible for all subjects to speak with their king. But everyone who wishes can find Jesus, the King of Heaven, in the Blessed Sacrament, and may speak with Him without constraint.”

“To converse with You, O King of Glory, no third person is needed. You are always ready in the Sacrament of the Altar to give audience to all. All who desire You always find You there, and converse with you face to face.”

“Christians, this is the hour to defend your King and to keep him company in the profound isolation in which he finds himself. How few, O Lord, are the servants who remain faithful to you!”

“On earth there is nothing more meritorious we can do than visiting Jesus often in the Blessed Sacrament”

Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.”

St. Josemaria Escriva

“Each time you approach the Blessed Sacrament remember that Jesus has been waiting for you for twenty centuries for this personal visit from you.”

Jesus to Ven. Sister Consolata Betrone

“Mankind’s humble adoration of God in the Holy Eucharist will be the weight that crushes the head of satan.”

Time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament: When/How

• Schedule some time each week to visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
• If you are already visiting once a week, can you do more? Can you work towards a daily visit?
• Your time there could be a Holy Hour, but there is also so much value in 30 minutes or even 5 minutes with Jesus.
