Tell him your worries and anxieties. You can talk to him about anything: your family, work, brokenness, faith, sadness, and what gives you joy. Entrust him your unforgiveness, confusion or resentment. Praise and worship him. Listen to him. He is only waiting to hear from you if you are willing to sit with him and keep him Company.
Last Sunday afternoon, I* spent some time before the Blessed Sacrament in our Church. Though I had a busy week, as soon as I entered the Church, I felt the peace of the Blessed Sacrament. As always.
He is the God reaching out to us, calling out to us with a heart inflamed with love. The Lord yearns for us to come and be with him. To be in his presence. The time spent before him is one of the most beautiful and peaceful ways to quiet our minds and be still.
Our Lord has condescended to make himself so evident to us to be heard above the noise of our modern world, gratitude alone should impel us to respond.
Ref St. Gemma Galgan.
Come and rest a while in Church with Jesus and enjoy the peaceful tranquillity of his presence.
Come to me, and I will give you rest – Matthew 11:28-29
Jesus is truly present in body, blood and divinity in the Holy Eucharist. Each of us is loved so much in the heart of Jesus. He is calling us into that love and to trust that love.
I listened in silence to God speaking to my heart and opened myself to his many graces flowing from the Holy Eucharist. I left the Church with perfect peace and renewed energy for a new week.
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest’. So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
Mark 6:31-32“We are never closer to the Divine Presence that when we reverently receive his Sacred Body, Soul and Divinity in Holy Communion, and when we come to “sit and pray with him a while” in Eucharistic Adoration” Ref Catholicism Pure & Simple
With Lent approaching, spend extra time with him.
Come and be with Jesus. Pray as your heart prompts you to pray.
We do not have to bring the bible or books, although they are helpful.
But what he asks of us is very simple. Just be in his presence. He is the one who brings peace to our lives.
