Daily Devotional Based On The Spiritual Classic He And I

For love I gave myself into the hands of men who did with Me as they wished. Now, I give Myself up in the Eucharist, and once again you do with Me what you wish. This is for love too. Right to the end. Right to the end of time. (Jesus, July 19, 1939).

 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. 9  (Philippians 2:5-9).

 23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. (John 13:1).

O Lord, this reading today from He and I makes me want to cry because You have given everything in Your Passion and You continue to give us Yourself, all of Yourself, in every Catholic Mass at every moment around the world. And You did it and do it for love, for no other reason than love because You are love. And how many people really know this or think about it. Not all of the world is Christian, and not all Christians are Catholic and so many Catholic if you believe the statistics think the Eucharist is just a symbol. And yet, You are there and will be there until the end of time. You will never leave us forsake us now matter how You are received. O Lord let all of us who do believe in the fullness of Your Truth receive You with deep gratitude and love because You are the Love which never gives up on us and never let’s go loving us to the end of our lives and into Eternity.
