unknownOur Lord is hidden there, waiting for us to come and visit Him,
and make our request to Him. See how good He is! He accommodates Himself
to our weakness. In Heaven, where we shall be glorious and triumphant,
we shall see him in all His glory. If He had presented Himself before us
in that glory now, we should not have dared to approach Him; but He
hides Himself, like a person in a prison, who might say to us, "You do
not see me, but that is no matter; ask of me all you wish and I will
grant it. " He is there in the Sacrament of His love, sighing and
interceding incessantly with His Father for sinners. To what outrages
does He not expose Himself, that He may remain in the midst of us! He is
there to console us; and therefore we ought often to visit Him. How
pleasing to Him is the short quarter of an hour that we steal from our
occupations, from something of no use, to come and pray to Him, to visit
Him, to console Him for all the outrages He receives! When He sees pure
souls coming eagerly to Him, He smiles upon them. They come with that
simplicity which pleases Him so much, to ask His pardon for all sinners,
for the outrages of so many ungrateful men. What happiness do we not
feel in the presence of God, when we find ourselves alone at His feet
before the holy tabernacles! "Come, my soul, redouble thy fervour; thou
art alone adoring thy God. His eyes rest upon thee alone. " This good
Saviour is so full of love for us that He seeks us out everywhere. 

Ah! if we had the eyes of angels with which to see Our Lord Jesus
Christ, who is here present on this altar, and who is looking at us, how
we should love Him! We should never more wish to part from Him. We
should wish to remain always at His feet; it would be a foretaste of
Heaven: all else would become insipid to us. But see, it is faith we
want. We are poor blind people; we have a mist before our eyes. Faith
alone can dispel this mist. Presently, my children, when I shall hold
Our Lord in my hands, when the good God blesses you, ask Him then to
open the eyes of your heart; say to Him like the blind man of Jericho,
"O Lord, make me to see!" If you say to Him sincerely, "Make me to see!"
you will certainly obtain what you desire, because He wishes nothing but
your happiness. He has His hands full of graces, seeking to whom to
distribute them; Alas! and no one will have them. . . . Oh,
indifference! Oh, ingratitude! My children, we are most unhappy that we
do not understand these things! We shall understand them well one day;
but it will then be too late! 

Our Lord is there as a Victim; and a prayer that is very pleasing to God
is to ask the Blessed Virgin to offer to the Eternal Father her Divine
Son, all bleeding, all torn, for the conversion of sinners; it is the
best prayer we can make, since, indeed, all prayers are made in the name
and through the merits of Jesus Christ. We must also thank God for all
those indulgences that purify us from our sins. . . but we pay no
attention to them. We tread upon indulgences, one might say, as we tread
upon the sheaves of corn after the harvest. See, there are seven years
and seven quarantines for hearing the catechism, three hundred days for
reciting the Litany of the Blessed Virgin, the Salve Regina, the
Angelus. In short, the good God multiplies His graces upon us; and how
sorry we shall be at the end of our lives that we did not profit by
them! 

When we are before the Blessed Sacrament, instead of looking about, let
us shut our eyes and our mouth; let us open our heart: our good God will
open His; we shall go to Him, He will come to us, the one to ask, the
other to receive; it will be like a breath from one to the other. What
sweetness do we not find in forgetting ourselves in order to seek God!
The saints lost sight of themselves that they might see nothing but God,
and labor for Him alone; they forgot all created objects in order to
find Him alone. This is the way to reach Heaven.
