Ask for the Gift of Adoration

Ave Maria MeditationsWords of Jesus to a Benedictine Monk:

The practice of adoration is not difficult. It is a gentle abiding in My Presence, a resting in the radiance of My Eucharistic face, a closeness to My Eucharistic Heart.

Words, though sometimes helpful, are not necessary, nor are thoughts. What I seek from one who would adore Me in spirit and in truth is a heart of flame with love, a heart content to abide in My Presence, silent and still, engaged only in the act of loving Me and of receiving My love. Though this is not difficult, it is, all the same, My own gift to the soul who asks for it.

Ask, then, for the gift of adoration.
