THE
HOLY EUCHARIST
|
||
Since the beginning of their messages to 'Carmelite', the Lord Jesus and the Virgin Mary have spoken at great length about the Holy Eucharist, the Body of Christ, and the importance of Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. They draw our attention to the fact that this sublime sacrament is often forgotten and despised nowadays, and that the Lord, Who awaits His children night and day in the tabernacle, is left alone and forgotten. Many are those who no longer believe in the Presence of the Son of God in the Holy Eucharist and regard it merely as a simple piece of bread. Did He not tell us: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him" (John 6:53–56). Also: " I am the Living Bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is My flesh for the life of the world." (Jn. 6:51) In the teachings of the Church, The Cathechism of the Catholic Church describes the Eucharist as being "the source and summit of the Christian life."[134] "The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch."[1324]
In an effort to somewhat repair the irreverence which the Blessed Sacrament is subjected to, and in an attempt to elevate it back to its rightful place, we wish to highlight the words spoken by Our Lord Jesus and the Virgin Mary concerning the Holy Eucharist. These words bring us to reflect upon this great Love of God Who bestowed upon us the total gift of the Body, the Blood, the Soul and the Divinity of His Son, Jesus Christ, Who makes Himself present at the Altar during Holy Mass to give Himself totally to us, by the power of the Holy Spirit, and Who desires to remain with us on earth everyday, until the end of times.
The following excerpts are taken from the messages received by 'Carmelite' and are in chronological order.
The Virgin Mary: « Out of all that exists in this world, the Body of My Son is what is most sacred; respect it and live it from within yourself. When you receive My Son, do so on your knees and on the tongue. The Body of My Son present in the Eucharist merits respect and reverence. » (March 17, 1999)
The Lord Jesus: « My children, convert your souls! Do not abandon Me! My Heart suffers when you abandon Me and distance yourselves from Me. Respect My Eucharist; My Eucharist is My Body and My Blood present in all the tabernacles of the world. » (June 11, 1999)
The Lord Jesus: « Come to Me before the Tabernacle of My Altar. I am there and always will be. With this sign, I fulfill My Covenant with you. You will never be alone, as I promised you that I would return, and I did return in My Eucharistic Body and My Blessed Blood, entirely consumed and poured out for your salvation. » (August 20, 1999)

The Virgin Mary: « I, the Virgin Mary of the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, ask for your conversion, my children. Convert your hearts, unite them with Ours. In the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, my Son Jesus is much forgotten and offended by your indifferences. Obey, my little ones! The wonder of my love is Jesus-Eucharist. I am always united to you at the Altar of the Sacrifice; I am united to my Son as I am united to the Holy Trinity. Receive this gift of love, the most sublime and sacred gift in this world. Constantly make reparation before my Son, in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Adore Him! Love Him! Glorify Him! Do not forget that I am your Mother Mary and that I will always be in communion with you. I give this message to all my little ones, the humble of heart. The Bread of Life, my Son, He Who never dies, will make you heirs to a Reign of light and truth. Always walk on the path of a good road; a path of rectitude, a path of love and a path of gratitude. Always raise your hearts to my Son. Renounce sin, hatred and violence. Be pleasant, humble and simple of heart before He Who gives eternal life: Jesus-Eucharist, my Son, powerful Presence, which proceeds from the Father, the Almighty, Sovereign and Eternal God. » (September 23, 1999)

Through the Eucharistic Body and the chalice of the Precious Blood of my Divine Son, I will lead you to eternal life which is filled with joy and hope.

The Virgin Mary: « The sufferings of my Son, Almighty Lord, are immense. I suffer at His side His sorrows and His agony, the same sorrows and agony which He suffered during His sorrowful Passion. I suffer when my Son is offended, rejected and forgotten by His creatures. When I contemplate the divinity of His Body, His Blood and His Soul, profaned in the sanctuaries of the earth, the seven dolors which pierced my Immaculate Heart are repeated in my sorrowful Heart. My children, do not profane His Sanctuaries any longer! Adore my Son, the Saviour of the universe. Listen to your Mother Mary! » (December 4, 1999)
The Virgin Mary: « My little shepherds, I ask you not to offend my Blessed Son Jesus-Eucharist, not to leave Him alone in His Sanctuary. He awaits you with each breath of His Spirit; He always awaits you, seated on His Throne of love, His holy Sanctuary, His dwelling place, the divine Tabernacle created for you. I, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of my Son -- your God, and Mother of the Church -- your Church, ask you to return to Him. » (December 13, 1999)
The Virgin Mary: « My little children, in this time of grace preserve in your hearts the Love which is the most sublime of my Heart -- Jesus, my Son, present on the altar. I, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, ask you to respect my Son in the Eucharist. » (January 13, 2000)
The Lord Jesus: « The gifts of love and faith are gifts that come from Me. You will find the gifts of love and faith in Me, Jesus in the Eucharist... At each remembrance of my Passion, of my Body and my Blood present on the altar, I await your 'yes'. Through the 'yes' you offer Me, I will give you the salvation of your souls. Take and eat my Body; take and drink my Blood - offerings of my love for your salvation. Come to Me my children! » (January 24, 2000)

The Virgin Mary: « My daughter, my gentle Jesus, the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, is alone in His Sanctuary of Love.

Jesus, my Son, awaits you in His Dwelling of Love. » (March 11, 2000)
The Lord Jesus: « By the holy presence of My holy and incomparable Eucharistic Body, I wish to call upon all My children, that through my presence at the altar, they may see My splendid Light of love; I invite them to recognize Me: God before them, with them and within them.

The Virgin Mary: « My Motherly Heart feels sad. Have pity, my children, have pity, have pity. The Body of my Son, Jesus, is rejected, forgotten and scorned. I am sad because many of my children do not receive communion any more. I am sad, because many of my children receive communion in a state of sin. My Motherly Heart suffers, and I cry when I see that my children no longer believe in the Living Presence of God in the Holy Eucharist. My Motherly Heart suffers, and I cry when I see such indifference and so little faith in the existence of God in the Holy Eucharist. My children, do you not know that when you take the Body of my Son, Jesus, it is He who offers Himself to you in His Body, His Blood, His Soul and His Divinity, for the purification of your hearts? My children, recall the night of His Passion, as all His Apostles were brought together, and I mysteriously contemplated in silence His Last Supper, when He said: " Take and eat; this is My Body given up for you. Do this in memory of Me. Take and drink; this is My Blood, the Blood of the Covenant, which will be shed for you. Do this in memory of Me. " The Word of my Son is thus accomplished. The Word of my Son thus becomes reality, as He shares His Body and His Blood on the Altar. Please my children, achieve and live the Word of my Son by remembering the night of His Passion. May the Holy Eucharist, the Body of my Son, be for you the True Life of God within your hearts and your souls' salvation. Blessed and adored be the Body of my Son, Jesus, the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. » (November 2, 2000)
The Lord Jesus: « I am Total Gift, God of the Divine Offering on the Altar of My Passion. I am Mercy and Kindness on My Divine Altar. I am Total Life, Splendor and Purity on My Altar. I am Unity, Charity and Goodness on My Altar. I am hidden day and night in My Sanctuary, hoping that each one of My children will come to share with Me My love full of humility, in My resplendent and radiant tabernacle of light. Every second do I await in My tabernacle each one of My children, because I die of a deep love to give Myself to, and permeate in Mercy and Love the souls of My children. My children, I am alone in My tabernacle of love. I am alone; do not forget Me! Receive My blessing, My children! » (November 2, 2000)
The Virgin Mary: « Heaven weeps and cries out with sadness when my Son is not adored on Earth. The tabernacles of my Churches are locked, and your Lord suffers when He is forgotten in His tabernacle. Pray my children! Continual adoration in front of His tabernacle! » (November 13, 2000)

The Virgin Mary: « My children, do take care of your life, as it belongs to my Son. Be good, be kind, and most of all, draw nearer to my Son. Come adore Him! My Son Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament; He has not forgotten you. Come back to Him! » (November 13, 2003)
The Virgin Mary: « My children, I am with you to guide your life and your steps. I bring you to the True Life: my Son, alive, radiant, shining in the Blessed Sacrament. Convert! And may your life be a consummation of love for my Son present in the Blessed Sacrament. Live His Love! Live His Life! Live this moment that He is granting you; this moment, when you can appreciate and admire Him present in the Blessed Sacrament. Your life and your steps lead to Him. I will be with you always, even if you do not see me, even if I do not accomplish great miracles in you. But this coming time is a time of miracles for you... A miracle of love, a living miracle... This miracle has been and still remains my Son. Blessed be my Son in the Blessed Sacrament! » (January 13, 2003)
