Mother Teresa of Calcutta
adoration with Pope
Blessing: God blesses us, we bless God.
Tues: Think of Mother Teresa: what does the spirit of the
world say of Mother Teresa? 'Ah, Blessed Teresa is a beautiful woman, she did a
lot of good things for others ...'. The spirit of the world never says that the
Blessed Teresa spent, every day, many hours, in adoration ... Never! It reduces
Christian activity to doing social good. As if Christian life was a gloss, a
veneer of Christianity. The proclamation of Jesus is not a veneer: the
proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and
change us.

Thurs:
...
Jesus this evening gives Himself to us in the Eucharist, shares our same journey – indeed, He becomes food, real food that sustains our life even at times when the going is rough, when obstacles slow down our steps. The Lord in the Eucharist makes us follow His path, that of service, of sharing, of giving – and what little we have, what little we are, if shared, becomes wealth, because the power of God, which is that of love, descends into our poverty to transform it.
Let us ask ourselves this evening, adoring the Christ truly present in the Eucharist: do I let myself be transformed by Him? Do I let the Lord who gives Himself to me, guide me to come out more and more from my little fence to get out and be not afraid to give, to share, to love Him and others?
Discipleship, communion and sharing. Let us pray that participation in the Eucharist move us always to follow the Lord every day, to be instruments of communion, to share with Him and with our neighbor who we are. Then our lives will be truly fruitful. Amen. [http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/05/30/pope:_homily_for_corpus_christi_[full_text]/en1-696991]
