LOVE REVEALED IN THE EUCHARIST

Divine Appeal Reflection  - 112

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 112: "Look at Me in the Eucharist and you will understand to what extent I love mankind. Whenever you call Me I will be in you in order to fill you with love."

Christ's love, made visible in the Holy Eucharist, is astounding in its inclusiveness and universality. All souls, especially those troubled by sin and those who are separated from the Church, are worthy of Jesus' love, which is not only reserved for the righteous. Every soul is always welcome to experience the limitless compassion and love of God through the Eucharist. For people who feel separated from God, this promise is especially poignant because it serves as a reminder that Jesus' Sacred Heart is always open, ready to welcome and transform anyone who comes to Him.

Our Adorable Jesus calls us, "look at Me in the Eucharist" in His Divine Appeal. This invitation asks us to view with faith-filled eyes along with our physical sensations. It is an appeal to acknowledge His abiding love for us and His actual Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. We should draw nearer to Christ by meditating on the Eucharist, taking part in Eucharistic Adoration, and partaking in Holy Communion. This relationship is transformational; it revitalizes our soul, envelops us in His heavenly love, and empowers us to bring that love into our daily lives.

Jesus' promise, "Whenever you call Me, I will be in you to fill you with love," emphasizes the Eucharist as a source of divine love and mercy. Through receiving the Eucharist, we are not only united with Christ but also imbued with His love. Our hearts are meant to overflow with love, influencing and drawing people closer to Christ. The Eucharist empowers us to be virtuous individuals, to extend forgiveness to others as we have received it, and to embody Christ's compassion and love throughout the world.

We are called to lead Eucharistic lives in order to properly appreciate the gift of the Eucharist. This means centering our lives around Christ and allowing His love to guide our decisions, attitudes, and behaviors. It requires a commitment to consistent attendance at Holy Mass, frequent Communion, and periods of Eucharistic Adoration. By doing so, we allow Christ's love to transform us and bring us closer to resembling Him more closely.

As we gaze upon the Eucharist, may we always remember that we are deeply loved by our Adorable Jesus, and may His love fill us and overflow into the world around us. Let us respond to His invitation by living lives that reflect His love, drawing others to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. We invoke the intercession of Sr. Anna Ali, who received these divine appeals, asking her to help us grow in love and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist, so that we may become true witnesses of His boundless mercy and love in our world.
