Ave Maria Meditations
Jesus has remained in the Blessed Eucharist. In this memorable Sacrament, there is contained really, truly, and substantially, His Body and Blood together with His Soul and Divinity, and consequently, the whole Christ. The presence of Christ in the Blessed Eucharist is real and permanent because once Mass is over, our Lord remains in each one of the consecrated Hosts that has not been consumed. He is present: He who was born, died and rose again in Palestine, the One who was at the right hand of God, the Father.
Jesus is waiting for us to visit Him. It is, in a way, a return of His visit to us in holy Communion, and it is a proof of gratitude, an expression of love, and acknowledgment of the Lord’s presence. It is a continuation of our act of thanksgiving for the previous communion and a preparation for the next.
