Consecration to Our Lady of the Eucharist
After Holy Communion

By the Claretian Fathers Teaching Ministry
Order founded by St Anthony Mary Claret (1807-1870)

Mary is called Our Lady of the Eucharist, because
without her, there would be no physical Body of Jesus
to be present in the Eucharist.
 (See John 6:51)

Most kind Mother,
we consecrate to thee, our bodies,
which have just been
honoured and sanctified,
by the presence of thy Divine Son,
our souls which have
conversed with Him
and our hearts which have loved Him.
O dearest Mother,
may the words which we have spoken, be made
acceptable to Him. through thy intercession.
Tell Him the things which we should have said
but were unable to express.
Love Him and beseech Him for us,
thy poor children.
Receive and keep us in thine heart.
Warn us, protect us
and guide us during this day
that we may faithfully serve thy Divine Son
and please Him
in all our thoughts, desires and actions.
Amen

Thought for the Day – 14 March – St Joseph’s Fourth Sorrow

Thought for the Day – 14 March – Meditations with Fr Richard Frederick Clarke SJ (1839-1900)

“Short Meditations for March, St Joseph”
From “The Devout Year”
By Fr Richard Frederick Clarke SJ (1839-1900)

14th Day – St Joseph’s Fourth Sorrow
The Prophecy of Simeon

+1. When the aged Simeon took the Infant Jesus into his arms
and gave thanks to God for he had, at length seen the salvation of Israel, we are told, he blessed the little group before him. But it was a strange benediction. The Glory of Israel, the Light to lighten the Gentiles, was to be set for the fall of many of His people. St Joseph could scarce believe his ears at the unexpected words. Was this to be the result of the Incarnation of the Son of God?
We little know the sorrows which God may have in store for us, the sudden blow which may unexpectedly fall upon our head!

+2. This was not all. Another clause in the strange blessing, declared that the spotless Lamb of God should be a Sign Who should be contradicted. What could there be in Him which should rouse ill-will, or opposition, or contradiction?
Had He not come to be the Saviour of mankind? Were not His lips to be full of grace from the first day on which He began to speak?
St Joseph accepted, with resignation, the heart-breaking news.

+3. It was not only Jesus Who was to suffer. Mary’s heart was to be pierced through with a sword. Her life was to be one continual sorrow. She was to suffer with the sufferings of Jesus. The tender, compassionate heart of Joseph was filled with fresh sorrow at the prospect of the anguish which was to overtake his holy spouse.
To sorrow with the sorrow of others, assuages their grief.
It is this which will win for us a share in the joy which St Joseph has in Heaven.
