Our God has humbled Himself to come down and be with us in the
Blessed Sacrament. We can do our part to show Him that we love
and respect this awesome gift. When we make this profound bow, we make ourselves very small and humble before Jesus. For how many children in the history of the church has the Eucharist been a source of spiritual strength, sometimes even heroic strength! How can we fail to be reminded, for example, of holy boys and girls who lived in the first centuries and are still known and venerated throughout the Church?
St. Agnes, who lived in Rome; St. Agatha, who was martyred in Sicily; St. Tarcisius, a boy who is rightly called the "martyr of the Eucharist" because he preferred to die rather than give up Jesus, Whom he was carrying under the appearance of bread.
And so down the centuries, up to our own times, there are many boys and girls among those declared by the Church to be saints or blessed.
Just as Jesus in the Gospel shows special trust in children, so His mother Mary, in the course of history, has not failed to show her motherly care for the little ones. Think of St Bernadette of Lourdes, the children of La Salette and, in our own century, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta of Fatima….
It is absolutely true: Jesus and His mother often choose children and give them important tasks for the life of the Church and of humanity. I have named only a few who are known everywhere, but how many others there are who are less widely known!
The Redeemer of humanity seems to share with them His concern for others: for parents, for other boys and girls. He eagerly awaits their prayers.
What enormous power the prayer of children has! This becomes a model for grown-ups themselves: praying with simple and complete trust means praying as children pray….‖Christmas 1994
Children’s Adoration and Divine Mercy
Jesus Himself gave the Divine Mercy Novena to St. Faustina. On the sixth day He reveals how He received comfort and strength during His bitter agony. He looked ahead throughout the ages and saw all the children who would adore Him.
Today bring to Me the Meek and Humble Souls and the Souls of Little Children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.
You may either gather before Jesus exposed in the Monstrance or be-fore the Tabernacle in your parish sanctuary.
Jesus our God, we adore You – here present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar –where you wait day and night to be our comfort, while we look forward to Your unveiled Presence in Heaven.
