After Jesus died for us on the cross, how can we deny Him anything He asks of us? No matter what the cost or sacrifice is nothing can ever measure up to what He did. Even the greatest or the least of sufferings we endure can be offered up to Jesus to give Him glory. What you offer to him he returns to you a hundred fold with great joy. We only need to trust Him. If it is too hard for you to believe that Jesus Christ offers Himself to us in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.. start to pray. Why wouldn't Jesus want to be with us in a tangible way on earth. The Eucharist is Jesus Christ, masked under the presence of bread because if He showed Himself to us in all of His Glory our souls and hearts would not be able to take it. He humbles himself daily to be received in the Eucharist because He cannot stand to be apart from us. We are constantly on His mind, from the moment we were born He is constantly saying our names, breathing life into us. Every day He waits for you to come to Him so He can love you even more deeply. We leave in less than a week for our homes, we shouldn't be sad to leave Franciscan but see summer as our opportunity to evangelize, to love the Lord with all of our hearts and to show that love to our family and friends at home. Each day is an opportunity, a challenge, to go out of your way to love Jesus and grow in that love of Him. When we are not surrounded by our FUS family, it gives us the chance to stretch our wings and demonstrate what we have learned from the past year. A chance to say no to temptation as Jesus did in the garden at Gesthemane, to deny what the Devil wants us to accept. We should always remember that we are never separate from our families anywhere, because we are all united in the Body and Blood of Christ, the Eucharist. We are united in constant prayer for one another through this great Sacrament. This world has nothing to offer but distractions, keep close to Jesus who longs to fulfill fully. Delight in Him as He delights in You.
" Look into My Merciful Heart and reflect its compassion in your own heart and in your deeds, so that you, who proclaim My mercy to the world, may yourself be aflame with it."
- Jesus to St. Faustina
