It is no exaggeration to say that the Sacred Heart is the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is the same Infinite Love who is God and who out of love for us became man and is here on earth. When we receive Him, that same God is within us. Love wants us to be intimate. Love wants us to be near. Love wants us to be close to the one whom it loves. The Holy Eucharist is divine genius! Fr. John A. Hardon SJ
What is this gentle movement,
Deep within my soul,
Softly, quietly I soar,
Lifted high, upward, aloft,
As if on eagle’s wings,
And then my heart descends,
Deep into a fathomless abyss,
Aglow with mystery and light.
All my longings now are satisfied,
When I consume the Son of God,
And the Son of Man made flesh.
My soul is held enthralled,
As time and space dissolve,
And I, in rapturous reverence and awe,
Worship and adore my Lord,
Tabernacled in my soul.
The Almighty Word, the Conqueror,
Leaps down from heaven,
We are no longer two but one,
United in a spousal love,
And I, Inebriate a while,
Am sanctified, renewed, and made anew,
As I abide for just a little while,
With the Bridegroom of my soul.
