Ave Maria Meditations
O Jesus, since You are always with us in the Holy Eucharist, grant that we may always be with You, always keep You company at the foot of the tabernacle, and not lose through our fault a single moment that we can spend before You, our Beloved, our all. You are there, You invite us to keep You company; then should we not run to You? Or should we spend elsewhere a single one of the moments You permit us to spend at Your feet?
O my beloved Jesus, You are whole and entire, completely alive in the Holy Eucharist, as fully as You were in the house of the holy family of Nazareth, or in the house of Magdalene at Bethany, as You were in the midst of Your apostles… You are here in the same way, O my Beloved, my All! Oh, let us never be distracted from Your presence in the Holy Eucharist for a single moment of the time You let us be with You.
Saint Charles de Foucauld
