You console My Eucharistic Heart by giving Me signs of your friendship; of all these, the one that most consoles Me is your presence before My Eucharistic Face. There are many ways of expressing friendship and of responding to the love of one’s friend, but the one that is most satisfying to the heart is the simple act of companionship, of presence, of being together. Experience has taught you this in human relationships, but you have yet to apply it to your relationship with Me as generously as I desire. Come to Me, remain with Me. Seek Me out in the Sacrament of My love and, by remaining with Me, adore Me with tenderness and give Me your heart’s friendship and affection.

What I ask of you, My beloved, and what I am asking of all My priests, is not difficult, nor is it impossible for the weak, the sick, and those who are homebound. If you cannot come before My Eucharistic Face, you can be transported there spiritually by an act of desire coming from the depths of the soul. Ask Me to transport you before those tabernacles of the world where I am most forgotten, neglected, and even despised. I will transport your souls into My presence and receive from your adoration and from your love the consolation that I await from My friends.

You have the privilege and the joy of living with Me under the same roof. Do you understand what this means? Do you see how like the life of My Immaculate Mother and of Saint Joseph your life is? Do you not want to avail yourself in every way and at every moment of My presence here? Cultivate this adoring adhesion to My sacramental presence. Let everything in this house and in your own life acquire an habitual and spontaneous referral to Me. Show Me that you are grateful for My sacramental presence by coming to Me often, by including Me in every aspect of daily life, and by consulting Me concerning all things. Do not treat Me as a guest in the house who remains aloof and distant in a formal parlour, one with whom you dare not share life as it really is. Rather, integrate My Eucharistic presence into every detail of your life.

My Eucharistic Face radiates from the tabernacle and from the monstrance into every nook and cranny of this house. This is My desire for the houses of My beloved priests as well. I want to sanctify their rectories and transform their homes into sanctuaries of adoration and of love. Encourage those priests who are considering arranging an oratory with My Eucharistic presence in their homes. I will bless them. I will draw them more intimately into the grace of My divine friendship. I will change their habits and purify the very atmosphere in which they live and work. As a result, they will grow in holiness and souls will benefit from their new-found intimacy with My Eucharistic Heart.

It is not enough to reserve My true Body in the tabernacle.
