REFERRED BY FRANCISCO.Prayer before the Crucifix (OrCr)High, glorious God!enlighten the darkness of my heart.Give me true faith, certain hope and perfect charity;wisdom and knowledge, O Lord,to fulfill your holy and true command.Amen.
In this little meditation or reflection adentrásemos wants us with a heart very, very humble and pure heart of Francis, but especially that of Jesus Christ, who reveals himself alive and present in his Body and his Blood. Clothe the need for grace and holiness that we have been given from the day of our baptism and renew every day in every Eucharist we celebrate. You need the Spirit of the Lord and His holy operation so that we not only understand through the eyes of faith, but out of love and commitment and reassess this most holy mystery that is the source of holiness and grace for all Christian who humbly about this Holy Mystery that is quintessential Thanksgiving, but above all and foremost is sacrifice.
And not just any sacrifice but that of Christ, the spotless Lamb who became like us in all things but sin.Importantly Francisco never loses sight of the sacrificial character of the Mass: The Eucharist is the memorial of Christ's sacrifice for us today and renew the fruits of the Redemption. Some fruits that we have to engage in and accept that we may worthily receive the same way become other Christs. This sounds a little weird, but is it not when we eat the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and drink his blood the most intense moment of communion and union with Him? Of course it is. There is no doubt about it at least for those who have faith and believe that it is. At the time of the communion of the Body and Blood of the Lord enters into us and we will hold our all to Him, it is as if there were two persons but one, yes one because Love transforms and the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ are the most exquisite of the Love of God.The Eucharist, as the update of the sacrifice of the New Covenant offers men of all time, once operated salvation of the Lord. Francis understood that if the Lord instituted the Eucharist, was to convey to all men the fruits of the Sacrifice of the Cross. If What would celebrate Mass today? Why attend Mass if it was just a comedy, a performance, a play? No, it is not The cross is not theater, the cross is life and life is always generated when worn with dignity and love is accepted. For the love of Jesus Christ accepted. For love gives us his Body and Blood under the appearances of bread and wine.Let our Seraphic Father now we talk heart to heart. He was considered unworthy to consecrate the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, has an extraordinary Eucharistic experience. Read carefully and let's get into the mystery of God's love and Francis.
Body of the LordJesus says to his disciples: I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father but by me. If you knew me, you would know certainly my Father also: and from henceforth you know him and have seen. Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth us. Jesus said so long time that I am with you and do not know me? Felipe, who sees me, sees also My Father (Jn 14.6 to 9).The Father dwells in unapproachable light (cf. 1 Tim 6:16), and God is spirit (John 4:24), and God no one has ever seen (Jn 1:18). So it can not be seen but in the spirit, because the spirit that gives life, the flesh profits nothing (Jn 6:64).But neither the Son, which is equal to the Father, is seen by anyone other than the Father, other than the Holy Spirit. Where everyone who saw the Lord Jesus as mankind, and not seen and yet believe in the spirit and divinity that he was the true Son of God, is condemned. So now, all who see the sacrament, which is sanctified by the word of the Lord on the altar by the priest's hand in the form of bread and wine, and do not see and believe according to the spirit and divinity, that is truly the Most Holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, are condemned, as witnessed by the Almighty himself, saying: This is my body and blood of the new testament, [which is shed for many] (cf. Mk 14,22.24) and : Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life (cf. Jn 6:55). Where the spirit of the Lord, who dwells in the faithful, is the recipient of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord. All others who do not share the same spirit and dare to greet, eat and drink damnation (cf. 1 Cor 11:29).Where: Sons of men, how long will you be of heavy hearts? (Ps 4:3). Why not recognize the truth and believe in the Son of God? (Cf. Jn 9:35).Behold: daily he humbles (cf. Phil 2:8), as if from the royal throne (Sat 18:15) came to the womb of the Virgin comes to us daily appearing humble himself; daily descends from the bosom of the Father (cf . Jn 1:18) on the altar in the hands of the priest. And as he appeared to the Apostles in true flesh, so now we are shown to us in the sacred bread. And like them, looking for their meat, meat only saw him, but, looking at it with spiritual eyes, believed he was God, so we, seeing bread and wine with bodily eyes, see and firmly believe that is his most holy body and blood living and true.And so the Lord is always with his faithful, as he says:Behold I am with you until the end of the world (cf. Mt 28:20).

First letter to the faithful (1CtaF 1.1 to 5, 2.1 to 8)1All who love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind, with all your strength, and love their neighbors as themselves (cf. Mt 22:37-39, Mk 12:30), 2y hate their bodies with their vices and sins, 3y receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, 4y produce worthy fruits of penance: 5 Oh how blessed and blessed are these men and women while doing such things and persevere in such things !1Pero all those who do not live in penitence, 2y not receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, engaged 3y vices and sins, and who follow the evil desire and the lust of the flesh, not saved 4y what they promised the Lord, serve 5y bodily into the world with the carnal desires and concerns of the century and the cares of this life: 6Apresados by the devil, whose children are and whose works do (cf. Jn 8:41), blind 7están , because they see the true light, our Lord Jesus Christ. 8No have spiritual wisdom because they have the Son of God, who is the true wisdom of the Father.Pray three Our Fathers.
Three Hail Mary's and three Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
