"The priest goes into the church, kneels before the Blessed Sacrament, speaks mentally to Jesus and listens to him.  He asks for fervor, for spiritual strength, he asks pardon and he asks for grace.  The Visit is an intimate communication with Jesus-Host, not spiritual reading, not only an exam of conscience, not the recital of the Rosary or his Office."

~November 2009 with Blessed Alberione

This really struck me when I read it.  How often have I limited the beneifits of a Visit by reciting numerous prayers or sticking my nose in a spiritual book without also sitting in His presence and just listening and speaking from the heart?

I pray for priests and all who make the Visit to remember who it is they are coming to see and what it is He wants to give.

 Happy Thanksgiving all.
