An Hour In Paradise

I am not sure who wrote this beautiful reflection, but it is how we ought to approach Our Lord during our hours of adoration with Him in the Blessed Sacrament. It is as close to heaven as we can get on this earth!

An Hour In Paradise

The object of Eucharistic adoration is the Divine Person of Our Lord Jesus Christ present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
He is living there.
He wants us to speak to Him, and He will speak to us. This conversation between the soul and Our Lord is true Eucharistic adoration.

Look upon the hour of adoration assigned to you as an hour in Paradise. Go to your adoration as one would go to heaven, to the divine banquet. You will then long for that hour and hail it with joy.
Take delight in fostering a longing for it in your heart.
Tell yourself, "In four hours, in two hours, in one hour, Our Lord will give me an audience of grace and love. He has invited me; He is waiting for me; He is longing for me."

When an hour is particularly difficult, rejoice all the more; your love will be greater for its suffering more.
It is a privileged hour that will count for two...
Go to Our Lord just as you are.
Be natural in your meditation...
You can be sure Our Lord wants your heart and not that of someone else...
