Together with blessed Zdenka let us give thanks tothe Lord for the gift of the Eucharist and the gift of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. – “Jesus, now I can see how in the Holy Eucharist you are completing your self sacrifice. I also know, with how much humility you are giving yourself, you, divine King, to all priests...

My sacrifice, my Holy Mass is now only beginning.  From the Lord´s altar.

I am going to the altar of my work... Everywhere I have to remember to continue in the sacrifice of the altar.

In the Holy Eucharist,  Jesus is present in his divine poverty.  His  divinity is  enshrouded here, but also his humanity.  The Word is  silenced in the Holy Eucharist. Behold, the utmost  humiliation of Christ, because the  degree of God´s gifts is humbleness. 

Jesus, now I can see how  in the Holy Eucharist you are completing  your self sacrifice. And I also know, how humbly  you are giving  yourself,  you divine King, to all priests...

God is the continual Holy Communion for a soul that fulfills God´s  will.

Soul of Christ, Sanctify Me
Divine soul, enter into my pitiful heart, take possession of  all its powers and abilities, and sanctify it by your grace. Sanctify my mind so it will think only  about you. Sanctify my will to unite with yours, one in joy and sorrow, to be willing to always fulfill your orders.  Sanctify my freedom so it will never be dishonoured by slavish chains of sin and never  choose fruitless delights of  vanishing life  instead of you.  Sanctify my body and make it a living holy  tabernacle, where you yourself would like to dwell.  Sanctify my senses and make them obedient  servants of my soul and the instruments of  sanctification for others.  Sanctify my eyes to be closed to  the futilities  of sin and always  have a longing to lie only on your holy cross and in the tabernacle of your love.  Sanctify my tongue so that I like speaking about  and praising only you, and enthusiastically   extol your  perfection and love.  Sanctify my  taste, do not allow  me to give myself up to sinful delicacies, but to desire for and experience the sweetness of mortification.  Sanctify my ears and close them to any unnecessary  conversation, in order to be open only to the voice of your wisdom and love.
