Sing Your Love

Jesus, I love You. Jesus, I love You.

Let every beat of my heart, and every breath I take

A thousand times repeat this act of love.

Give the Lord your best

There has never been in the history of the Church a time, where the sacrament of the Eucharist has been abused and outraged to such an alarming and grievous extent as in the past five decades, especially since the official introduction and Papal approval in 1969 of the practice of Communion in the hand. These abuses are aggravated, furthermore, by the widespread practice in many countries of faithful who, not having received the sacrament of Penance for many years, nevertheless regularly receive Holy Communion. The height of the abuses of the Holy Eucharist is seen in the admittance to Holy Communion of couples who are living in a public and objective state of adultery, violating thereby their indissoluble valid sacramental marriage bonds, as in the case of the so-called “divorced and remarried”, such admittance being in some regions officially legalized by specific norms, and, in the case of the Buenos Aires region in Argentina, norms even approved by the Pope. Additionally to these abuses comes the practice of an official admittance of Protestant spouses in mixed marriages to Holy Communion, e.g., in some dioceses in Germany. - Taken from the July 22, 2020 article- The Sins Against the Blessed Sacrament and the Need of a Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation By Bishop Athanasius Schneider.

Prayer

"Lord Jesus, in the Holy Eucharist, we believe You are with us in the Blessed Sacrament. We believe You are inviting us to join with You in conquering the world for Your Heavenly Father. But we are blind. Enlighten our minds. We are weak. Strengthen our hearts. Make us Disciples of Our Eucharistic Lord; make us Disciples of Life through the Eucharist. Help us to understand the Eucharist now on earth by faith - as a prelude to seeing You, our Incarnate God, face to face, for all eternity. Amen."

-Servant of God Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ (adapted to read "Disciples of Our Eucharistic Lord" instead of Fr. Hardon's "Apostles of the Eucharist")
