Holy Eucharist - Blessed Sacrament teachings

Saint Gertrude the GreatOur Lord's revelation:
"In communicating but once, the Christian receives me for his Salvation, with all my goods - that is, with the united treasures of my Divinity and Humanity; but he does not appropriate the abundance of these treasures except by repeated Communions. At each new Communion, I increase, I multiply the riches which are to constitute his happiness in heaven !.."

Saint Gertrude the GreatOur Lord's revelation:
"He who communicates from habit does not taste the sweetness of the Eucharist; whilst he who prepares his heart for its reception by exercises of piety and devotion, tastes of this sweetness in proportion to his good disposiotion. In fine, he who approcaches Me with fear and reverence is less eagerly welcomed than he who comes to Me from a motive of pure love."

Saint Gertrude the GreatOur Lord's revelation about the Love of His Divine Heart in the Holy Eucharist:
"My delights are to be with the children of men. To satisfy my Love, I have instituted this Sacrament. I have obliged Myself to remain therein even to the end of the world, and I wish it to be frequently received. Should anyone deter a soul, not in the state of mortal sin, from Communion, he would impede the delight of my Heart. I have done my utmost to manifest the tenderness of My Heart in the Blessed Eucharist. When impelled by the vehemence of My Love, I enter a soul by Communion, I fill it with graces, and all the inhabitants of heaven and earth, and all the souls in purgatory experience at the same moment some new effect of my bounty"

Saint Gertrude the GreatOur Lord's revelation about the Love of His Divine Heart in the Holy Eucharist:
"It is not my Justice, but my goodness and tenderness, which I strive to manifest in the Eucharist. To be convinced of this, consider how I am imprisoned in a small ciborium, and under what lowly appearances I come to men, I, the King of Glory! Even thus is my Justice imprisoned by my Mercy, My gracious mercy, which alone I extend to all in this Sacrament. Dost thou not see that whilst reducing Myself to the tiny proportions of the Host, I really subordinate My Body, thus humiliated, to the body of him who receives Me?"

Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ"O most sweet and merciful Jesus, what great reverence, thanks, and never-ending praise are due to You for our taking of Your sacred body, whose dignity no man can express!"
|
554
Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ"But on what shall I think in this Communion, this approach to my Lord, Whom I can never reverence as I ought, and yet Whom I desire devoutly to receive? What thought better, more helpful to me than to humble myself entirely in Your presence and exalt Your infinite goodness above myself?"
