Prayer and devotion to Jesus where he promises great graces
VISIT TO SS. SACRAMENT
S.Alfonso M. de 'Liguori
My Lord Jesus Christ, who for the love you bring to men, you are staying night and day in this Sacrament all full of pity and love, waiting, calling and welcoming all those who come to visit you, I believe you present in the Sacrament Altar. I adore you in the abyss of my nothingness, and I thank you for how many graces you have given me; especially to have given me yourself in this sacrament, and to have given me your most holy Mother Mary as a lawyer and to have called me to visit you in this church. Today I greet your most beloved Heart and intend to greet him for three purposes: first, in thanksgiving for this great gift; secondly, to compensate you for all the insults which you have received from all your enemies in this Sacrament: thirdly, I intend with this visit to adore you in all places on earth, where you have been sacramentally revered and less abandoned. My Jesus, I love you with all my heart. I regret having disgusted your infinite goodness many times in the past. With your grace I propose not to offend you any more for the future: and in the present, miserable as I am, I consecrate myself completely to you: I give you and renounce all my will, affections, desires and all my things. From today on, do everything you like with me and my things. I only ask you and want your holy love, final perseverance and perfect fulfillment of your will. I recommend to you the souls of Purgatory, especially the most devoted ones of the Blessed Sacrament and of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I still recommend all the poor sinners to you. Finally, my dear Salvator, I unite all my affections with the affections of your most loving Heart and thus united I offer them to your Eternal Father, and I pray him in your name, that for your love accept them and grant them. So be it.
Love to the SS. Sacramento in the
Blessed ALEXANDRINA MARIA from COSTA
Messenger of the Eucharist
Alexandrina Maria da Costa, Salesian cooperator, was born in Balasar, Portugal, on 30-03-1904. From the age of 20 she lived paralyzed in bed due to a myelitis in the spine, following a jump made 14 years from the home window to save her purity from three ill-intentioned men. Tabernacles and sinners are the mission that Jesus entrusted to her in 1934 and which is delivered to us in the very numerous and rich pages of his diary. In 1935 she was the spokesman for Jesus for the request of the Consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, which will be solemnly carried out by Pius XII in 1942. On 13 October 1955 Alexandrina will pass from earthly life to that of Heaven.
Through Alexandrina Jesus asks that:
"... devotion to the Tabernacles be well preached and well propagated, because for days and days souls do not visit Me, do not love Me, do not repair ... They do not believe that I live there. I want devotion to these prisons of love to be kindled in souls ... There are many who, while entering the Churches, do not even greet Me and do not pause for a moment to worship Me. I would like many faithful guards, prostrate in front of the Tabernacles, so as not to let many and many crimes happen to you ”(1934)
During the last 13 years of life, Alexandrina lived only on the Eucharist, without feeding herself any more. It is the last mission that Jesus entrusts to her:
"... I make you live only of Me, to prove to the world what the Eucharist is worth, and what is my life in souls: light and salvation for humanity" (1954)
A few months before she died, Our Lady said to her:
"... Speak to souls! Talk about the Eucharist! Tell them about the Rosary! May they feed on the flesh of Christ, prayer and My Rosary every day! " (1955).
