By Laura Worhacz St. Peter Julian Eymard's words: Eymard Library, Vol. 7 page 35 Our Lord has prepared us a long time. He has hedged us about with graces from our infancy, in order to introduce us into the Cenacle of His Eucharist. Let us thank Him with all our heart. Although we may not have given ourselves to Him at so early an age as Mary, we are, however, still in the beginning of the Eucharistic life. The Eucharistic manifestation has only just begun, and our Lord calls us to be among the first to work for its development. MEDITATION: We have consecrated our lives to Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist in and through Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Where do we go from here? St. Peter Julian directs our souls in these words, "THE EUCHARISTIC MANIFESTATION HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN," We are called to serve, first and foremost through our prayers as Adorers of the Blessed Sacrament. We need to build and rebuild our Eucharistic communities of love pointing to the living God. Our Father Will balance our life of prayer and work, we do need to PRAY! With great JOY this means of communication will be dedicated to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament through Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, with continued formation through the Apostle of the Eucharist, St. Peter Julian Eymard. He will be our guide. We will begin with by meditating on the mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary through the eyes of the Eucharist. Ivonne Hernandez will be leading us through St. Peter Julian's insight on the mysteries with some meditative thoughts to accompany his teaching. May the Most Holy Rosary bring us deeper into the life of Jesus Christ as we pray the Divine scriptures. May we than apply the virtues connected to the mysteries of the most Holy Rosary to our own lives as an offering to Our Heavenly Father and live them out as we go forth to Love and Serve The Lord. Grateful daughter of Mary, Laura Send: Continue to be in thanksgiving for the gift to know Jesus through the Heart of Mary. Prayer to our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Blessed are you, Mary exalted daughter of Sion! You are highly favoured and full of grace, for the spirit of God descended upon you. We magnify the Lord and rejoice with you for the gift of the Word made flesh, bread of life and cup of joy. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, our model of prayer in the cenacle, pray for us that we may become what we receive, the body of Christ your son. Amen

By Laura Worhacz We continue to give you thanks Exalted Daughter of Sion! Consecration to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament MARY! "O STRONG ONE" St. Peter Julian Eymard St. Peter Julian Eymard's words: "Mary adorned with all gifts, enriched with all virtues, incomparable in merit appeared to the world under a most ordinary exterior.... Mary was to be an illustrious model of the hidden -life a life hidden in God with Jesus Christ- a life which we should strive to honor and faithfully copy in our conduct. I wish to show that the law of holiness which God follows in our souls, is the very same that He followed in Mary. " [Eymard Library, Vol. 7 Page 54] As a consecrated child it should come natural for us to long to return our Love for God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We will walk with Mary in all we do. She will help guide our lives. We will want to bring witness to our love for Jesus through her. We will adorn her altars, make Marian feast days special, especially May 13 when we celebrate Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament in the Catholic Church. We will long to bring others into a relationship with our Mother whom we love. Mary's consecrated children will come from her womb to be held by her hand. This consecration will serve the Priesthood with the greatest of Blessings to consecrate their Holy Order to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament. Any vocation will be blessed and guided to the fullness of its duties by this consecration. Offering one's life is the consecration in totality. If one should ask you, what is it, consecrating your life to Jesus Christ through Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament? The answer would be: Surrendering your will over to the WILL of God, making Him the center of your life. Entering into a life of union through prayer, love and ultimately service. We, Mary's consecrated, are given an ever greater awareness that we are helping her in leading God's children back to Him. Jesus Christ the Redeemer of our humanity remains with us in the Bread of Life that has come down from Heaven. He remains with us for the salvation of all. Our lives conform to the life of Jesus Christ truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Our mission is to bring all to the Holy Eucharist to heal the incurable wound we all have without HIM. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, lead your children to the Bread of Life, for the whole world is looking for JESUS! With Mary's gifts and virtues passed on to her consecrated children we will live a hidden life of union with our Divine Savior, Jesus Christ. St. Peter Julian tells us that the law of holiness which God follows in our souls, is the same that He followed in Mary. This hidden life will manifest itself from the interior to the exterior of our beings, the Divine interior will bring Jesus into the world and draw others to want to faithfully copy our conduct. Grateful daughter of Mary, Laura The Magnificat The Prayer Of Mary My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Blessed are you, Mary exalted daughter of Sion! You are highly favoured and full of grace, for the spirit of God descended upon you. We magnify the Lord and rejoice with you for the gift of the Word made flesh, bread of life and cup of joy. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, our model of prayer in the cenacle, pray for us that we may become what we receive, the body of Christ your son. Amen By Laura Worhacz Consecration to Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament MARY! "O STRONG ONE" St. Peter Julian Eymard St. Peter Julian Eymard's Words: "It is to our best interest to honor with a particular devotion the life of Mary in the Cenacle, altogether given up to the service and glory of the Eucharist. We must try to catch something of her spirit and love, in order to render our Divine Savior present in our midst, a worship of adoration more pleasing and more perfect, in union with that which his most holy Mother offered Him. to become good servants of the Eucharist, we must be docile and devout children of Mary. " [Eymard Library, Vol. 7 Page 94] The Annunciation of the Lord to Mary is a favored time to conclude 33 days of preparation to consecrate your life to Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament. This great Solemnity is when the word became FLESH, and dwelt among us. Mary's YES to become this Mother of the Blessed Sacrament redeemed the world by Jesus Christ Incarnate in her womb. Incarnation means "Becoming Flesh." We too are invited to have the Body of Christ Incarnate, the living God, in us. We strive for this by the way of Mary for she was the first to live with Jesus Incarnate in her womb and will lead us our whole life long with the desire to stay close to the Holy Eucharist. Our good Mother knows we need the nourishment for our souls. We die without JESUS. If you choose another Marian or Saint feast day to conclude your consecration that is perfectly fine; simply begin 33 days prior to the day you choose. Once you have made your consecration it would be advised to renew your promise on special days or, if you are so inclined to, you may renew daily by offering a special prayer. You may choose to recite the prayer to Our lady of the Blessed Sacrament daily as a holy reminder of your consecration promise. Jesus' Incarnate life lives through the adorers of the Blessed Sacrament, who Receive Him, allowing their lives to become a living prayer. Mary was the perfect adorer of Jesus Christ for the spirit of God descended upon her. Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament will lead all in the way of salvation, all we need to do is have recourse to thee. Remember the words of St. Peter Julian to try to catch something of her spirit. Whichever time you choose to prepare and conclude your consecration preparation it should always bring you to the Blessed Sacrament as a grateful adorer of Jesus Christ.
