From the Tridentine Documentary's Part 4, for every soul. "Every morning during meditation, I prepare myself for the whole day's struggle. Holy Communion assures me that I will win the victory; and so it is. I fear the day when I do not receive Holy Communion. This bread of the Strong gives me all the strength I need to carry on my mission and the courage to do whatever the Lord asks of me. The courage and strength that are in me are not of me, but of Him who lives in me - it is the Eucharist." ~ Saint Faustina

THE OFFERING OF THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS, PRAYING FOR THE INTENTIONS OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE, AND THE EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL WITHIN THE HEART
"In the Mass the Blood of Christ flows anew for sinners." ~ Saint Augustine
So much takes place in the peace and quiet and in the holy hiddenness even before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass even begins.
Sometimes a candle is lit and prayers are offered there first.
Other times there is silence and no praying, only listening.
Every time the Prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus are readied.
Often times there is conversation with our Lord about this documentary.
At times there is a quick look into a religious book.
All these personal activities prior to the offering-wedding are guided by the Holy Ghost.
What wonders!
How happy you are this morning to give further thought to the Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel within the heart.
When not in church, and even while in church, you may go there any time you like to be with and adore the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
"Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most helpful to us." ~ Saint St. Alphonsus Liguori
WILLS, THE WILL OF THE FATHER, AND THE WEDDING TO PERFECTION
"The shortest, yea, the only way to reach sanctity, is to conceive a horror for all that the world loves and values." ~ Saint Ignatius of Loyola
Loving in imitation of and in union with Christ requires an act of the free will.
To be victorious we must surrender; to advance we must retreat.
THE PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL WITHIN THE HEART
"All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle." ~ Saint Francis of Assisi
A lit beeswax candle is placed spiritually through an act of the free will onto the High Altar within your heart prior to the Consecration of both Sacred Species in the natural.
This is the "wedding candle" for this day and this lit candle honors Jesus and His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament, the Eucharistic Presence of our Divine Redeemer, Divine Restorer, Divine Remedy for All, and the Divine Bridegroom of every soul who takes away the sins of the world.
HOLY COMMUNION IN AN OLIVE GARDEN DURING AN OFFERING/WEDDING
"This supernatural bread and this consecrated chalice are for the health and salvation of mankind." ~ Saint Cyprian
You receive the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament kneeling at the communion rail in church in the natural and also within the tiny Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel within your heart which was established by the Immaculate Mother of God.
That makes this a bi-location offering-wedding, for the sake of all people through all time.
From there within the heart, when not in church, a spiritual communion may be made for the love of God first and foremost and then for any intention.
"My Jesus...I embrace you as One who has never left..."
Often there is the contemplation of the many precious and priceless wedding moments for every soul that have been manifested here in the supernatural during the offering of the Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin.
Often, you marvel at Divine priceless love for each one of us that is this lavish.
So many beautiful moment.
So many.
"Do grant, oh my God, that when my lips approach Yours to kiss You, I may taste the gall that was given to You; when my shoulders lean against Yours, make me feel Your scourging; when my flesh is united with Yours, in the Holy Eucharist, make me feel Your passion; when my head comes near Yours, make me feel Your thorns; when my heart is close to Yours, make me feel Your spear." ~ Saint Gemma Galgani
DIVINE UNION AND EUCHARISTIC ADORATION IN TWO PLACES: INSIDE THE CHURCH AND WITHIN THE HEART
"When we work hard, we must eat well. What a joy, that you can receive Holy Communion often! It's our life and support in this life -- Receive Communion often, and Jesus will change you into Himself." ~ Saint Peter Julian Eymard
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
THE WEDDING THANKSGIVING
"They (the saints) want - a vain yet loving strife! - to keep pace with the generosity of Jesus." ~ Father Frederick William Faber
It is impossible to not be profoundly grateful after having received and been unified with Divine love this lavish.
It is impossible to not show God great affection and profound gratitude on this most loving and valuable daily occasion.
AS THE BLESSED SACRAMENT REPOSES ON YOUR TONGUE, CHRIST PLACES HIMSELF WITHIN A SACRED HOST INSIDE THE MONSTRANCE ON THE HIGH ALTAR WITHIN THE HEART THAT WELCOMES HIM
God said to Saint Catherine of Siena, "You shall delight in the Cross...to the glory and praise of My Holy Name, continually moaning with anxious heart over the death of the human race, because you see it brought down to such misery as your tongue cannot express.
"For it is by moaning and wailing of My friends that I make dispositions for showing mercy to the world. And this is what I am continually asking of you, and of My other friends, and this will be the sign that you love Me truly, and I, on my side, promise never to neglect your holy desires."
THE WORK OF REPARATION TO THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS AS A WEDDING GIFT DURING THE OFFERING OF THE TRADITIONAL TRIDENTINE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS CELEBRATED IN LATIN
"The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility." ~ Saint Francis de Sales
Jesus said the following to Sister Mary of Saint Peter of the Work of Reparation to His Holy Face:
“Drawing me strongly to the contemplation of His adorable Face, our Divine Savior made me see through a ray of light issuing from His august Countenance that the Holy Face which He presented to mankind for their adoration, was indeed the mirror of those unutterable Divine Perfections comprised and contained in the Most Holy Name of God.... I saw that by thus honoring and venerating this Sacred Countenance covered anew with outrages, we could atone for blasphemers who attack the Divinity of which this Holy Face is the figure, the mirror and the expression.”
“...[Our Lord] told me that He was seeking in our convent souls who would heal the wounds inflicted on His Face by pouring over them the wine of compassion and the oil of love, which is Reparation.”
“Yes, it is through this august Sacrament that Jesus, our Savior, desires to impart to souls the rare virtue emanating from is most Holy Face, for indeed there in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar His adorable Face is more dazzling than the sun. He then once more promised me to imprint His Divine likeness upon the souls of those who honor the features of His Face."
WHILE ON THE WAY HOME IN THE DARK THAT NIGHT, DURING A VERY HARSH WINTER, FOLLOWING A BUSY DAY AT WORK
Our Lord keeps you company, in particular from His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament perpetually being adored at the chapel within your heart, and you, deeply affected by His kindness, keep Him company there.
"Always remain close to the Catholic Church, because it alone can give you true peace, since it alone possesses Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the true Prince of Peace." ~ Saint Pio of Pietrelcina
