DIVINE APPEAL 184

ON THE EUCHARIST:A DIVINE APPEAL

(Revelation to Sr Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist)

VOLUME 1

“Contemplate My Love from My Divine Mercy in the sacrament of

My Love, behold what I represent...”

“My daughter, contemplate My Love from My Divine Mercy in

the Sacrament of My Love; behold what I represent, I am very present in

every Consecrated Host.

By replication of My Presence in each particle all over the world

I dwell and abide sacramentally. This is the very and universal

Presence of My Divine Love.

To the souls consecrated to Me, I am a stranger. Many come before

My Tabernacle, while in front of Me and I looking and loving them,

they turn their mind and attention away. Many possess the devil

willingly within them. They come before My mystery, receive Me,

then cast Me at the feet of the devil to whom they have consecrated

themselves.

Day and night I continue bearing these sacrileges with tears of

blood. My Love is greater than their sins. I love mankind more than

they offend Me. With love I call them back bearing abuses, insults

and blasphemies. If only they listen and respond to My calling! My

desire is to save them. I love mankind so much and that is why I did

not hesitate to lay down My Life for them. I was dead and now I live

forever. The everlasting ages are mine.

I only receive insults. I have nowhere comfortable for Me in the

souls I love so much. I have nothing more precious like the souls of

mankind. Many souls are running to perdition and they are eternally

lost. I do not wish anyone to perish. The world is full of perils. I

come to exhort sinners.

As I am exposed, I will pour the treasures of My Infinite Mercy into

human souls.”

“I give My blessing.”

THE INFINITE MERCY OF OUR ADORABLE JESUS

Divine Appeal Reflection - 183

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 183: "I want the world to know that My Heart is overflowing with Mercy. I rest in nothingness... My Love is greater than their sins. I long for their response to My Love. I want My salvation to prevail in the souls of mankind."

Our Adorable Jesus assures us that His love is greater than our sins. This truth is at the very heart of the Gospel, for while humanity was still steeped in sin, Christ died for us as the ultimate proof of divine love (cf. Romans 5:8). Unlike human love, which often depends on merit, Jesus’ love is freely given, seeking not the worthy but the lost and broken. He does not wait for us to attain perfection before embracing us; rather, He longs to heal and restore us in our weakness. His mercy is a never-ending wellspring that is always prepared to purify and reclaim penitent souls.

Yet, despite such boundless mercy, many in the world reject the love of our Adorable Jesus. Sin, pride, and self-reliance blind countless souls, leading them to believe they are beyond redemption. Some despair, thinking their sins are too great to be forgiven, while others grow indifferent, failing to recognize the gravity of sin. But Jesus’ call remains urgent: Return to Me! Do not harden your hearts, for My mercy is infinite! He desires not the death of the sinner but that all should turn back and live (cf. Ezekiel 33:11). His love is greater than every fault, and no soul is too lost to be reclaimed by His mercy.

The longing of our Adorable Jesus for our love is deeply expressed in His plea: “I long for their response to My Love.” This is not the voice of a distant judge but of a Redeemer who thirsts for souls. The same Jesus who, from the Cross, cried out in thirst (cf. John 19:28), still thirsts today—not for water, but for our trust, our love, and our return to Him. He desires that His salvation prevail in all souls, not through force but through the free and loving response of hearts turned toward Him. To respond to His love is to surrender to Him in trust, to confess our sins with humility, and to seek Him in the sacraments and works of mercy.

In light of this Divine Appeal, we are not only called to trust in the mercy of our Adorable Jesus but also to make it known. As devout Catholics, it is our duty to be conduits of His kindness, drawing people to Him through evangelization, sacrifice, and prayer. The world needs to know that Jesus is merciful, that He desires everyone to be saved (cf. 1 Timothy 2:4), and that no one who seeks Him will be turned away. By accepting our nothingness and allowing Him to fill us with His love, let us fully surrender to His kindness. As we grow closer to Jesus' compassionate heart, may His true presence in the Blessed Sacrament be our strength and refuge.

Prayer

Oh our Adorable Jesus, Grant that we may never doubt Your mercy, but rather, with childlike trust, surrender ourselves completely to You. May Your salvation triumph in all souls, and may we be instruments of Your mercy to those most in need.

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

FIRST READING
“He looked forward to the city whose builder and maker is God”
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 11:1-2.8-19)

Brethren: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old received divine approval. By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was to go. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked forward to the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore. These all died in faith, not having received what was promised, but having seen it and greeted it from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only-begotten son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.” He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; hence he did receive him back and this was a symbol.

The word of the Lord.

“Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 4:35-41)

On that day, when evening had come, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”

FIGHTING THE POWERS OF DARKNESS

Divine Appeal Reflection - 182

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 182: "In My Church Lucifer marches... I want souls to know that I call them all to prayer, penance, Holy Masses... Never before has the world needed prayers like at the present time. Evil grows to monstrous proportions... "

Despite the rising tide of evil, our Adorable Jesus does not abandon His flock. He calls all souls to prayer, penance, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass—the greatest weapons against the powers of darkness. As in every age of spiritual trial, He urges His faithful to stand firm and not lose heart, for He has already conquered the world (cf. John 16:33). Though Lucifer marches even within the Church, seeking to deceive and corrupt, Jesus remains present, calling His children to unwavering faith and perseverance. Now, more than ever, He desires that souls turn to Him with love and trust, embracing the means He has given for their sanctification.

Prayer is the divine lifeline, binding the soul to Jesus and fortifying it against all assaults from the enemy. In these times of distress, the Holy Rosary is our greatest defense, for our Blessed Mother has constantly stressed—even to the point of sacrifice—that we must pray, pray very much for sinners, lest they be lost forever (cf. Our Lady of Fatima, 1917). Through constant prayer, the heart becomes conformed to the will of God, and infinite grace begins to flow, dispelling the darkness that threatens to engulf the world. Thus, Jesus calls every soul to persevere in prayer, trusting that even the smallest act of love and intercession has eternal value.

Penance is a means of reparation for the sins committed against our Adorable Jesus. The Church has always taught that fasting, self-denial, and the offering of daily sufferings are powerful acts that console the Heart of Christ and obtain grace for the conversion of sinners (cf. Luke 13:5). In an era when sin is celebrated and virtue ridiculed, true disciples of Jesus must take up the call to interior mortification, uniting their sacrifices with His Passion. The spirit of reparation is urgently needed, for as evil grows to monstrous proportions, so must the love and sacrifice of the faithful rise in response.

The Eucharistic Sacrifice is the ultimate act of propitiation, being the source and summit of Christian life (cf. CCC 1324). In every Holy Mass, our Lord renews in our presence the sacrifice of our redemption and pours out infinite graces upon the Church and the world. The faithful are called to Holy Mass with a great spirit of devotion and should attend frequently, receiving the Holy Eucharist with profound reverence and ardent love. Participating in such an exalted act reveals that, in the entire warfare against evil, no weapon is as potent as uniting with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, allowing His Real Presence to strengthen and sanctify the soul.

The warning of Jesus should awaken all souls to watchfulness and urgency. The forces of evil are relentless, but the victory belongs to Christ. We must remain firm in faith, anchored in prayer, and unwavering in trust. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our refuge in these troubled times, lead us ever closer to our Adorable Jesus and help us stand firm in the hour of trial.

Prayer

Oh our Adorable Jesus, in the midst of darkness, we cling to You. Strengthen us through prayer, penance, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Shield us from evil, renew our hearts in Your love, and draw countless souls to Your mercy. May we remain faithful to You always.

FIRST READING
You endured a hard struggle. Therefore do not throw away your confidence.
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 10:32-39)

Brethren: Recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on the prisoners, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised. “For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIA PSALM

Psalm 37:3-4.5-6.23-24.39-40 (R. 39a)

R/. From the Lord comes the salvation of the just.

Trust in the Lord and do good;
then you will dwell in the land
and safely pasture.
Find your delight in the Lord,
who grants your heart’s desire. R/.

Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him, and he will act,
and make your uprightness shine like the light,
the justice of your cause like the
noon—day sun. R/.

By the Lord are the steps made firm
of one in whose path He delights.
Though he stumble he shall never fall,
for the Lord will hold him by the hand. R/.

But from the Lord comes the salvation of the just,
their stronghold in time of distress.
The Lord helps them and rescues them,
rescues and saves them from the wicked:
because they take refuge in him. R/.

A man scatters seed, and while he sleeps it grows, he knows not how.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 4:26-34)

At that time: Jesus said to the crowds, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground, and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, lie knows not how. The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

RESPONDING TO THE LOVE OF JESUS

Divine Appeal Reflection - 181

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 181: "Respond to My Love. I lead, bless and strengthen you. Seek to console Me. Do not be afraid to lose yourself. Follow Me along this painful path. I am Love and union is Love... My Divine..."

Our Adorable Jesus thirsts for our love, yet He does not impose Himself upon us but gently calls, waiting for our free response. In the Gospel, He reminds us that He stands at the door of our hearts, knocking and inviting us into communion with Him (cf. Revelation 3:20, CCC 2567). This invitation is not passive; it requires an active response—one of faith, fidelity, and sacrifice. Love is not merely a sentiment but a total gift of self, and our response to Jesus must reflect this reality. To love Him means to follow Him without reserve, placing our trust entirely in His Divine Providence.

To respond to Jesus' love means allowing Him to lead us completely, surrendering our own desires to His perfect will. He assures us, “I lead, bless and strengthen you,” reminding us that even in the trials of life, He is always our Good Shepherd (cf. Psalm 23:1-4). Yet, how often do we resist His guidance, fearing the unknown and clinging to our own plans? True surrender requires detachment from our own will, embracing His path with trust, even when it is painful or uncertain. Only by yielding to His love do we receive the strength and grace to persevere.

Jesus, in His Divine Appeal, also calls us to console Him, for His Heart is wounded by the rejection and indifference of souls. In Gethsemane, He sorrowfully asked, “Could you not watch one hour with Me?” (cf. Matthew 26:40). The call to console our Adorable Jesus is an invitation to reparation, to offer our love in response to the coldness of the world. This consolation is most powerfully given in adoration of His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament and in uniting our daily sufferings to His for the salvation of souls. Every act of love, every sacrifice made for Him, is a balm to His wounded Heart.

Our Adorable Jesus tells us, “Do not be afraid to lose yourself.” Thus, the radical call to self-denial is echoed in His words: whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it (cf. Matthew 16:25). Losing oneself in Christ means breaking with all self-seeking and yielding oneself to allow Him to take control of one's life and actions (cf. Galatians 2:20).It is a path of suffering, but also of profound union with Love Himself. The more we surrender, the more we are transformed in Him. May our Adorable Jesus grant us the grace to respond to His love without hesitation, following Him in faith and trust until we are perfectly united with Him in eternity.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, we surrender ourselves entirely to Your divine will. Lead us in the path of holiness, bless us with Your grace, and strengthen us in every trial. Teach us to console You through prayer, sacrifice, and reparation. May we always respond faithfully to Your infinite love.

THE HOLY NAME OF OUR ADORABLE JESUS

Divine Appeal Reflection - 180

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 180: "You have to mention My Name more often in all your talks with anyone. ... see to it that you do this all the time. Open your heart to receive more. I have to erect an altar in your heart."

In a world where speaking openly about faith is often met with hesitation or even resistance, Jesus’ appeal to mention His Name in all our conversations calls us to a renewed courage and authenticity. Speaking the Name of our Adorable Jesus is a profound act of evangelization, one that invites His presence into every interaction. We sanctify our words and enable the seeds of faith to be sown in the minds of everyone we come into contact with by calling on His Name in times of joy, thankfulness, or suffering. Reminding us that our witness must be based on the truth and love of the Lord Jesus, St. Paul urges us to do everything we say and do in His name (cf. Colossians 3:17).

Jesus also invites us to open our hearts to receive His grace abundantly. When we speak His Name with reverence and love, we open ourselves to His transformative presence. His Name becomes a gateway to peace, strength, and blessings, aligning our desires with His divine will. It is an act of trust and surrender, one that acknowledges our dependence on Him. In this way, mentioning the Name of our Adorable Jesus not only blesses others but also deepens our own intimacy with Him, as His grace flows freely into our lives (cf. John 14:13).

Furthermore, Jesus' desire to erect an altar in our hearts is an invitation to a deeper spiritual communion. An altar is a sacred place of worship, sacrifice, and encounter with God. By allowing our hearts to become such a sanctuary, we create a space where our Adorable Jesus is adored and glorified in all we do. This interior altar signifies a life entirely centered on Him, where every thought, word, and action is a holy offering. Scripture reminds us of the greatest commandment: to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength, urging us to make Him the center of our lives (cf. Deuteronomy 6:5).

Speaking the Name of Jesus frequently and reverently transforms not only our conversations but also our hearts and lives. It is an act of witness, worship, and surrender that draws us and others closer to Him. Let us respond to this Divine Appeal with fervor, boldly proclaiming the Name of our Adorable Jesus and allowing Him to reign in our hearts as we strive to make every word and action an offering to His glory. Through this practice, we fulfill our call to be living testimonies of His boundless love and grace in the world.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, may Your holy Name be our constant song and prayer. Fill our hearts with Your grace and make them altars of love and adoration. Sanctify our words, that we may proclaim You boldly and draw souls to Your mercy. Reign in us always, dear Jesus.

“He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.”
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 10:11-18)

Every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, then to wait until his enemies should be made a stool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their misdeeds no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. And he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it had not much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil; and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” And when he was alone, those who were about him with the Twelve asked him concerning the parables. And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables; so that they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; lest they should turn again, and be forgiven.” And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word which is sown in them. And these in like manner are the ones sown upon rocky ground, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”

HOLINESS AMID BETRAYAL IN THE CHURCH

Divine Appeal Reflection - 179

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 179: "What a pain! In My Church many... have been transformed into veritable incarnate demons. While they preach love and peace they labour hard leading souls to perdition.”

Our Adorable Jesus speaks with piercing clarity in this Divine Appeal, lamenting the betrayal within His Church. These words compel us to profound reflection on the Church's sacred mission and the need for holiness among clergy, consecrated souls, and the laity. Our Lord’s anguish reveals the grave spiritual crisis where some, entrusted with the care of souls, have instead become instruments of the enemy. This reality demands our fervent prayers and unwavering commitment to Christ's truth.

The hypocrisy of preaching love and peace while leading souls astray is a painful reality highlighted in this Divine Appeal. Within the Church, this manifests in the distortion of teachings, the embrace of moral relativism, and a troubling silence on the reality of sin—each of which leads the faithful astray and endangers souls entrusted to the Church’s care. Such hypocrisy was condemned by our Adorable Jesus when He referred to the Pharisees as "whitewashed tombs," which were attractive on the outside but corrupt on the inside (cf. Matthew 23:27). The devil, the father of falsehoods, frequently poses as compassionate (cf. John 8:44).

The Church, as the Bride of Christ, is called to reflect His love and peace. Yet, as Jesus warned, there are false prophets in sheep's clothing who are ravenous wolves (cf. Matthew 7:15). These betrayals not only scandalize the faithful but deeply wound the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. St. John Chrysostom aptly noted the weight of this responsibility when he observed how the unfaithfulness of shepherds leads to the ruin of many souls (cf. Homilies). Such words remind us of the critical need for vigilance and holiness among those who serve in Christ’s name.

We cling to Christ's everlasting assurance that the gates of hell will never overrun His Church in the face of hardship and adversity (cf. Matthew 16:18). Living moral lives, praying ardently for the sanctification of priests and consecrated souls (cf. 1 Timothy 2:1), and bravely defending the holy teachings of our faith (cf. Ephesians 6:14) are all necessary components of a holiness-based response. The Real Presence of Jesus is comforted and His Church is strengthened when reparations are offered, especially in the Holy Eucharist. May we remain ever faithful, striving to be faithful instruments of His divine love and truth, leading souls to Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, deeply sorrowful for the betrayals within Your Church, purify and sanctify Your priests and faithful. Grant us the grace to live in truth and holiness. Strengthen us to defend Your teachings with love and fidelity, bringing souls closer to Your Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament.

Sr. Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist, intercede for us.

FIRST READING
"Behold, I have come to do your will, O God'
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 10:1-10)

Brethren: Since the law has but a shadow of the good thing to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices which are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered? If the worshippers had once been cleansed, they would no longer have any consciousness of sin. But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sin year after year. For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said. "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, 'Behold I have come to do your will, O God,' as it is written of me in the roll of the book.' When he said above, 'You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offering and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law), then headed, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

The word of the Lord.

FIRST READING
He has been offered once to bear the sins of many, he will appear a second time to those who are eagerly waiting for him.
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 9: 15.24-28)

Brethren: Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant. For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgement, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

“Satan is coming to an end.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 3:22-30)

At that time: The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said of Jesus, “He is possessed by Beelzebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house. “truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” – for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.”

FIRST READING
They read from the book, from the law of God, and they gave the sense.
A reading from the Book of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10)

In those days: Ezra the priest brought the law before the assemble, both men and women and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people; and when he opened it all the people stood. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God; and all the people answered, "Amen, Amen," lifting up their hands, and they bowed their heads and worshipped the LORD with their faces in the ground. And Ezra and the Levites read from the book, from the law of God, clearly; and they gave the sense, so the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people. "This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep, "For all the people mourn and weep. “For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord; and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

SECOND READING
You are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 12:12-30)

Brethren: Just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptised into one body Jews or Greeks, slaves or free — and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single organ, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those parts of the body which we think less honourable we invest with the greater honour, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted the body, giving the greater honour to the inferior part, that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honoured, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the Church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, speakers in various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?

The word of the Lord.

Or shorter:

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 12: 12-14.27)
Brethren: Just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptised into one body — Jews or Greeks, slaves or free — and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

Alleluia.

Alleluia.

GOSPEL

“Today this Scripture has been fulfilled.”

The beginning of the holy Gospel according to Luke (LUKE 1: 1 - 4; 4: 14 - 21)

In as much as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. At that time: Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and a report concerning him went out through all the surrounding country. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he went to the synagogue, as was his custom, on the sabbath day. And he stood up to read; and there was given to him the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

THE DANGER OF LUKEWARMNESS

Divine Appeal Reflection - 178

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 178: "Many will respond for a short time but after that they will say to me: I have been faithful to my duties. I need not endure anymore. Afterwards they end up getting lost... Assure them how much they torture Me in the Sacrament of My Love. Mankind treats Me so cruelly. I love them all. I suffer much when I see that all the pains I endured will be so useless for so many souls who are eternally lost."

In His Divine Appeal, our Adorable Jesus speaks with deep sorrow about the peril of lukewarmness, where souls initially respond to His call with zeal but later grow indifferent, claiming they have done enough. This lukewarmness is a great offense to Him, as it signifies a lack of true love and devotion. Jesus desires a love that endures, one that does not falter when challenges arise. As the Scriptures remind us, we must "run with perseverance the race marked out for us" (cf. Hebrews 12:1), and this perseverance requires more than a temporary spark of enthusiasm—it demands consistent and wholehearted devotion.

Lukewarmness is a subtle and insidious danger. Many souls, having once fervently followed Christ, slowly drift away from Him, failing to recognize the gravity of their spiritual neglect. Our Adorable Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, is often treated with indifference and irreverence. This disregard for His Real Presence deeply wounds His Sacred Heart. Revelation warns against this spiritual tepidity, as it leads to rejection: "Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth" (cf. Revelation 3:16).

This lukewarm attitude not only disturbs Jesus’ heart but also jeopardizes the eternal salvation of souls. He grieves over those who, having once known His love, choose comfort and complacency over the constant need for renewal and sacrifice. The call to discipleship is not a one-time event but a continuous journey of commitment. As the Catechism reminds us, “Faith must be active and alive, not passive and dormant” (cf. CCC 162). Lukewarmness is the silent thief that steals the fire of love, leaving souls vulnerable to eternal loss.

To overcome lukewarmness, we must renew our commitment to our Adorable Jesus and His call for enduring love. Regular prayer, frequent reception of the sacraments, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament are essential practices that keep our hearts on fire with love for Him. Always striving to stay alert and persistent in our love, we shall move closer to Jesus in deep devotion and profound, authentic love , which He deserves. May we resist growing lukewarm and remain free from complaint as we live a life of strong faith, embracing the promise of love that shines from His glory.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, forgive our failures and deepen our fidelity to Your Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. May our prayers, sacrifices, and devotion bring You consolation. Draw every soul to Your boundless mercy, and grant us unwavering perseverance, that we may glorify You with love always.

“I am consumed with the desire to forgive. What a pain that My

Blood is in vain...!”

“My daughter, listen to My words of mercy towards mankind. Through

My few ones I want the world to know that I am overflowing with Love

and Mercy, longing for souls day and night. I am in search of souls.

Today I call you to enter deeply into My Love. Do not think of your

misery. I am powerful enough to sustain you. I am consumed with

the desire to forgive. Continuously I want to draw comfort from

you. Be always alert so that I may get you ready any time I want. I

give My Grace. I am very thirsty for souls. I suffer this grief in the

frontline from the souls I love, those consecrated to Me. I am only

receiving abuses and ingratitude. What a pain that My Blood is in

vain, for so many souls are falling into perdition each and every

moment!

In My Church I pour My tears of Blood. I see very many souls who

have turned against Me. I still see many who will not listen to My

call. They only follow the way to perdition. Many will respond for

a short time but after that they will say to me: I have been faithful to

my duties. I need not endure anymore.

Afterwards they end up getting lost... Assure them how much they

torture Me in the Sacrament of My Love. Mankind treats Me so

cruelly. I love them all. I suffer much when I see that all the pains I

endured will be so useless for so many souls who are eternally lost.

Pray a great deal.”

FIRST READING
Rise and be baptised, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of Jesus.
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 22:3-16)

In those days: Paul said to the people [in Jerusalem], “I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as you all are this day. I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women, as the high priest and the whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished. As I made my journey and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone about me. And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’ And I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth whom you are persecuting.’ Now those who were with me saw the light but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me. And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.’ And when I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there, came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And in that very hour I received my sight and saw him. And he said, ‘The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth; for you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptised, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.”’

The word of the Lord.

Or the following:

FIRST READING
‘You will be told what you are to do.”
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 9:1-22)

In those days: Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting; but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying, and he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem; and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptised, and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus. And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, “He is the Son of God.” And all who heard hint were amazed, and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests.” But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

REALITY OF SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

Divine Appeal Reflection - 177

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 177: "Assure souls that the PERDITION OF MANKIND ARISES IN THE FIRST PLACE FROM HIMSELF."

This Divine Appeal invites us to reflect deeply on human responsibility in the journey toward salvation or perdition. Our Adorable Jesus reminds us that humanity's downfall does not primarily arise from external forces but from within—our choices, actions, and willful turning away from God. This reality echoes the scriptural account of Adam and Eve, whose disobedience introduced sin into the world (cf. Genesis 3). By misusing the gift of free will, they disrupted their communion with God, demonstrating that sin invites disorder and separation. The Catholic Church's Catechism states that free will confers dignity on every person as a rational being capable of starting and controlling their own actions (CCC 1730). As a result, every decision we make has permanent consequences, affecting both our fate and the world around us.

This Divine Appeal by our Adorable Jesus calls us to confront the truth that our actions—and inactions—are at the root of our own damnation. To combat this situation, we must appreciate the grievousness of sin and its punishment, while simultaneously embracing God's call for repentance and redemption. Sin is an act of both letting go of God's love and refusing to align our hearts with His will. For St . Paul, the wages of sin are death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (cf. Romans 6:23). Sin alone deepens the fall for every single soul and accelerates the moral decay in a society built on such sins.

Our Adorable Jesus exhorts us to overcome the core reasons of our downfall, such as pride, selfishness, and indifference toward God. He encourages us to practice humility, self-denial, and prayerful dependence on Him. The Catechism argues that recurrent sin develops a tendency to sin, resulting to vice and more separation from God (cf. CCC 1865). To prevent sliding into this cycle, we must be mindful of our thoughts, words, and deeds, seeking God's mercy through the Sacrament of Reconciliation and working to live in conformity with His commands. By doing so, we work with grace to alter our hearts and contribute to the salvation of the world.

Ultimately, this Divine Appeal is a call to conversion and hope. While mankind bears responsibility for its own downfall, the mercy of our Adorable Jesus is boundless. Like the father in the parable of the prodigal son, He is always ready to forgive and restore us (cf. Luke 15:11–32). Let us respond with humility and trust, acknowledging our sins and turning to Him for strength and guidance. By embracing this call to conversion, we not only secure our own salvation but also help bring light to a world overshadowed by sin. May we take to heart the immense love of our Adorable Jesus, allowing His mercy to guide us on the path to eternal life.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, humbly acknowledging our sins and weaknesses, grant us the grace to choose holiness, reject sin, and trust in Your infinite mercy. Transform our hearts, strengthen our will, and guide us toward salvation. May Your love lead us to eternal union with You, now and forever.

DIVINE APPEAL 177

ON THE EUCHARIST:A DIVINE APPEAL

(Revelation to Sr Anna Ali of the Most Holy Eucharist)

VOLUME 1

“I came to cast fire on this earth. Assure souls that the perdition of

mankind arises in the first place from himself. The devil knows that

his time is very short.”

“Listen, My daughter, do not fear the power of the devil. It is not

greater than My Love. Hide Me in your heart. I endured without bitterness

such undeservedly cruel things. Pray and do not be afraid. I called you

for the good of souls. Be ready to undergo anything. In the Sacrament of

My Love you are a victim. True love desires to testify effectual its fidelity

and tenderness.

Ponder on Me. For the love of mankind I had to be plunged

completely... My Heart was burning and crying to open the way of

salvation of mankind. I came to cast fire on this earth.

Pray a great deal but do not be satisfied by prayer alone. Go forward

in My Name according to the amount of My Grace. Do not let

anything on this earth hold your heart bound to itself. I lead you.

You have to overcome the stratagems of the devil.

In the Sacraments of My Love, I make known to you all My sorrows

and desires. It is a serious moment and time is short for saving souls.

The souls I love so much do not know to what extent I suffered all

pain for mankind. What more could I have suffered for mankind?

Today in nearly every place I am so much abused, insulted and

blasphemed. Led by the devil many labour hard to abolish the Holy

Sacrifice of the Mass. What a pain!

Assure souls that the PERDITION OF MANKIND ARISES IN

THE FIRST PLACE FROM HIMSELF. The devil knows that his

time is very short. Pray and be on watch. If not you will fall into faint

heartedness.”

“As I am exposed, I will pour the treasures of My Infinite Mercy into

human hearts.”

Mass and preface of the Memorial

FIRST READING
“The covenant he mediates is better. ”
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrew 8:6-13)

Brethren: As it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second. For he finds fault with them when he says: “The days will come, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord. This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord. ’ for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful towards their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

Psalm 85:8. 10.11-12.13- 14 (R. 11a)

Merciful love and faithfulness have met;
justice and peace have kissed.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth,
and justice look down from heaven. R/.

and our earth shall yield its increase.
Justice will march before him,
and guide his steps on the way R/.

JESUS' GRACE OUTSHINES OUR MISERY

Divine Appeal Reflection - 176

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 176: "I know your misery but My power of grace is greater than that. It is also greater than all the demonic powers. Heed My words. It is for the good of souls. Behold I have poured on to you graces from the ocean of My Mercy. Learn My simplicity and stand firm against the evil one.”

In His Divine Appeal, our Adorable Jesus reminds us that "I know your misery." These statements demonstrate His profound understanding of our troubles and echo the truth contained in the Psalms, which states that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (cf. Ps 34:18) . Jesus looks at our weaknesses with limitless compassion rather than condemnation. His Sacred Heart is tenderly moved by every wound and sorrow we endure. He reminds us that no suffering escapes His notice and that He is always near, ready to comfort and heal. This profound assurance invites us to approach Him with confidence, trusting that His love surpasses all human misery.

Our Adorable Jesus proclaims that His power of grace is greater than any misery or demonic force. This echoes the teaching of St. Paul that where sin abounds, grace abounds even more (cf. Rom 5:20). Jesus’ grace is an unyielding force that triumphs over every sin, temptation, and spiritual assault. The devil seeks to sow despair and separate souls from the mercy of God, but Jesus assures us that His grace is an unconquerable weapon against all evil. Through this promise, He calls us to trust completely in His power, rejecting the lies of the enemy and finding refuge in His infinite mercy.

In this plea, our Adorable Jesus says that He has poured out gifts from the "ocean of My Mercy." The Catholic Church's Catechism tells us that God's mercy is manifested in His faithfulness and patience with us (cf CCC 1847). These blessings are a generous gift intended to restore, strengthen, and sanctify souls. Approaching the Sacraments, particularly Confession and the Eucharist, allows us to immerse ourselves in this limitless ocean of healing and spiritual rebirth. Jesus' words inspire us to express thankfulness by living lives that mirror His mercy, sacrificing our difficulties and sacrifices for the salvation of souls.

Finally, our Adorable Jesus urges us to “learn My simplicity” and “stand firm against the evil one.” Simplicity reflects a heart free from pride and attachments, much like the childlike trust that Jesus highlights as necessary for entering the Kingdom of Heaven (cf. Mt 18:3). To embrace simplicity is to live in humility, seeking only God's will in all circumstances. At the same time, we are called to combat the devil through prayer and the power found in God's Word and Sacraments. According to St. Paul, our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers of darkness (cf. Eph 6:12). Through these efforts, our Adorable Jesus teaches us to hold steady in faith, trusting that His grace will see us through any adversity.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, You who know our misery and pour graces from the ocean of Your mercy, strengthen us to stand firm against the evil one. Teach us Your simplicity and fill our hearts with trust in Your love. May we always seek You in humility and faith.

HOLY MASS READINGS FOR JANUARY 23, 2025

Thursday, Second week in Ordinary Time, Year I (Green)

LH: Office of the Day, Week II

Mass and preface of the day

FIRST READING
He offered sacrifices when he offered up himself.
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (Hebrews 7:25 - 8:6)

Brethren: Jesus is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself. Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever. Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary; for when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.” But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIA PSALM

Psalm 40:7-8a.8b-9.10.17 (R. see 8a.9a)

R/. See, I have come, Lord, to do your will.

You delight not in sacrifice and offerings,
but in an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim.
Then I said, “See, I have come.” R/.

In the scroll of the book it stands written of me:
“I delight to do your will, O my God;
your instruction lies deep within me.” R/.

Your justice I have proclaimed
in the great assembly.
My lips I have not sealed;
you know it, O Lord. R/.

O let there be rejoicing and gladness
for all who seek you.
Let them ever say, “The Lord is great,”
who long for your salvation. R/.

“The unclean spirits cried out, ‘You are the Son of God. ’And he strictly ordered them not to make him known. ”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 3:7-12)

At that time: Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude, hearing all that he did, came to him. And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, lest they should crush him; for he had healed many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

THE MYSTERY OF JESUS IN THE EUCHARIST

Divine Appeal Reflection - 175

Today, consider in Divine Appeal 175: "I am in agony and I pour My tears of blood as I see souls turning to perdition. In the Divine Sacrament I am very present. The Angels in heaven are astonished at My great love which makes Me abide on earth with mankind under the appearance of bread."

The presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is a profound mystery; even the angels marvel at it. Our Adorable Jesus, the King of Glory, humbles Himself to dwell among us under the appearance of bread so that the depth of His love and desire to be with mankind may be made manifest. This great act of love is an invitation to all humanity—a call to return to Him, to recognize His abiding presence, and to console His Sacred Heart, wounded by our indifference, ingratitude, and sin. His Eucharistic presence is a constant reminder that His love knows no bounds and that He longs for every soul to come to Him.

The agony of our Adorable Jesus is not just a distant memory from Gethsemane but continues today in the Blessed Sacrament. His Sacred Heart aches as He beholds souls turning away from Him toward perdition. Like the shepherd in the parable of the lost sheep, Jesus relentlessly seeks out the lost, desiring their return to His fold (cf. Luke 15:4-7). Yet, when souls resist His love and choose sin, His Heart bleeds with sorrow. Each soul is infinitely precious to Him, and every act of indifference or rejection wounds His love anew.

The Angels in heaven, who adore Him ceaselessly, are astonished by this mystery of divine humility. They behold the Almighty concealed in the simplicity of bread and wine, amazed at the depth of His love for mankind . In response to this Divine Appeal, we are called to consolation and reparation. This heavenly marvel should inspire us to deeper reverence and adoration for our Adorable Jesus in the Eucharist. He is not a mere symbol but truly present—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—waiting for us to draw near and receive His infinite love. Let us console the Sacred Heart of our Adorable Jesus and commit ourselves to spreading the truth of His real presence, leading others to adore Him and receive His boundless mercy.

Prayer

Our Adorable Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, we adore You and thank You for dwelling among us. Forgive our neglect and draw us closer to Your love. Help us console You through prayer, sacrifice, and devotion, bringing lost souls back to Your mercy and light
