St. Sharbel Makhluf (1828 to 1898)
Maronite Catholic Priest and Hermit in Lebanon
Do we ever consider taking one of the tougher hours of our Eucharistic Adoration program - that is the night (early morning) hours? Many of our Saints considered these tougher hours the most rewarding. St. Sharbel had a great devotion to the Eucharist and would spend 11 hours at night in Eucharist Adoration before saying Mass in the morning.




St. Therese of Lisieux (1873 to 1897)
Doctor of the Church and Carmelite Nun
"Do you realize that Jesus is there in the Blessed Sacrament expressly for you, for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart."

"Frequently, only silence can express my prayer. However, this Divine Guest of the tabernacle understands all, even the silence of a child's soul filled with gratitude. When I am before the tabernacle, I can say only one thing to Our Lord: 'My God, you know that I love you' and I feel my prayer does not tire Jesus."

"To bear the exile of this valley of tears I need the glance of my Divine Savior. This glance full of love has revealed its charms to me. It has made me sense the happiness of Heaven. My Jesus smiles at me when I sigh to Him. Then I no longer feel my trial of faith. My God’s Glance, His ravishing Smile, That is Heaven for me!"

"How I loved the feasts!...I especially loved the processions in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. What a joy it was for me to throw flowers beneath the feet of God!...I was never so happy as when I saw my roses touch the sacred Monstrance."
(Source: "Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux" book)

"O Jesus! on this day, you have fulfilled all my desires.  From now on, near the Eucharist, I shall be able To sacrifice myself in silence, to wait for Heaven in peace.  Keeping myself open to the rays of the Divine Host, In this furnace of love, I shall be consumed, And like a seraphim, Lord, I shall love You."

"O Jesus, I want to be fascinated by Your gaze."

"Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Savior listens to me night and day."




Ven. Andrew Beltrami (1870 to 1897)
Salesian Priest
"Wherever I may be I will often think of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I will fix my thoughts on the holy Tabernacle — even when I happen to wake up at night — adoring Him from where I am, calling to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, offering up to Him the action I am performing. I will install one telegraph cable from my study to the church, another from my bedroom, and a third from our refectory; and as often as I can, I will send messages of love to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament."

St. Conrad of Parzham (1818 to 1894)
German Franciscan lay brother
St. Conrads Prayer of Adoration - " I have come to spend a few moments with You, O Jesus and in spirit I prostrate myself in the dust before Your Holy Tabernacle to adore you, my Lord and God in deepest humility.  Once more, a day has come to it's close, dear Jesus, another day which brings me nearer to the grave and my beloved heavenly home.  Once more, O Jesus, my heart longs for You, the true Bread of Life, which contains all sweetness and relish.    O my Jesus, mercifully grant me pardon for the faults and ingratitude of this day and come to me, to refresh my poor heart which longs for You.  As the heart pants for the waters, as the parched earth longs for the dew of Heaven, even so does my poor heart long for You.  You Fount of Life.  I love You O Jesus, I hope in You, I love You and out of love for You, I regret sincerely all my sins.  May Your peace and Your benediction be mine, now and always and for all eternity.  Amen!"

Ven. Louis of Trelles (1819 to 1891)
Layman, Spanish Jurist, Founder of the Spanish Nocturnal Association
In 1862 Louis started to devlelop a deep affection for Eucharistic Adoration. He, in 1868, became the head a national organization for Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration.

Cardinal deacon of San Giorgia in Velabro basilica church in Rome
"It is such an incomprehensible blessing to have Christ in bodily presence in one’s house, within one’s walls...To know that He is close by - to be able to visit Him, again and again, throughout the day..."
(Source: St. John's Seminary on Facebook - Click Here)

“I did not know, or did not observe, the tabernacle Lamp – but now after tasting of the awful delight of worshipping God in His Temple, how unspeakably cold is the idea of a Temple without that Divine Presence! One is tempted to say what is the meaning, what is the use of it?...

St. Damien The Leper (1840 to 1889)
Missionary Priest
"It is in the Blessed Sacrament that we find strength. Without my daily Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, I could not have lasted one single day."
(Source: St. Joseph Catholic Church, Clayton MO website - Click Here)

"Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the most tender of friends with souls who seek to please Him.  His goodness knows how to proportion itself to the smallest of His creatures as to the greatest of them.  Be not afraid then in your solitary conversations, to tell Him of your miseries, your fears, your worries, of those who are dear to you, of your projects, and of your hopes.  Do so with confidence and with an open heart."

Bl. Marie-Therese De Soubiran (1835 to 1889)
Foundress of the Sisters Of Mary Auxilatrice
Blessed Marie-Therese of Soubiran found Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament so important that she not only urged daily adoration for all but also urged one to prepare well for their visits before our beloved Lord. To the Sisters she was in charge of she wrote: "The Sisters must realize that to help them become saints, it is necessary to pray at night in order to obtain graces for the following day. The Sisters should use each day to prepare themselves for their night adoration."




St. Mary Joseph Rosello (1811 to 1888)
Founder of the Daughters Of Our Lady Of Mercy
"Go to Jesus. He loves you and is waiting for you to give you many graces. He is on the altar surrounded by angels adoring and praying. Let them make some room for you and join them in doing what they do."

Bl. Mother Maria of Jesus Deluil-Martinyo (1841 to 1884)
Apostle of the Sacred Heart devotion and foundress of Association Of The Gaurd Of Honour Of The Sacred Heart
Can we volunteer to cover just one hour a week at our local adoration program to make up for the sins of the world?  Our beloved Lord asks this of all souls, and much more, thru Blessed Maria of Jesus.  During her long hours in Eucharistic Adoration every night our Lord made her understand that He was waiting for souls who would offer Him perpetual homage of reparation for the most subtle wounds made in His Sacred Heart.

"At all times let us keep our gaze fixed lovingly on the divine Victim being immolated on the altar. And let us allow ourselves to be immolated at the same time. Weeping before the altars that are the object of indifference or profanation, may we love and make up for the coldness of those who do not know how to return love for love."

Bishop Louis Gaston Adrien of Segur (1820 to 1881)
French Bishop and organizer of the first formal 1881 Eucharistic Congress

(Source: Saint Quotes blog - https://saintquotes.tumblr.com/)

“When you pass by the chapel and haven’t time to stop, tell your Guardian Angel to take your messages to Our Lord in the tabernacle. He will take them and then have time to catch up with you"

Bl. Marguerite Bays (1815 to 1879)
Stigmatist and Laywomen
Do we volunteer to cover an hour of Eucharistic Adoration at our local parish? This is what turns common Christians into great Saints. Virtually all the future saints did this, such as Blessed Marguerite who spent her whole life in the neighborhood she was born in. She had an immense love for Jesus in the Eucharist, before which she spent long hours in adoration at her local parish. She lived constantly in God's presence.




St. Jeanne Jugan (1792 to 1879)
Foundress of the Little Sisters Of The Poor
"Go and find Him when your patience and strength run out and you feel alone and helpless. Jesus is waiting for you in the chapel. Say to Him, 'Jesus, you know exactly what is going on. You are all I have, and you know all things. Come to my help.' And then go, and don’t worry about how you are going to manage. That you have told God about it is enough. He has a good memory."

"Whenever I go to the chapel, I put myself in the presence of our good Lord, and I say to him, ‘Lord, I am here. Tell me what you would have me to do’ . . . And then, I tell God everything that is in my heart. I tell him about my pains and my joys, and then I listen. If you listen, God will also speak to you, for with the good Lord, you have to both speak and listen. God always speaks to you when you approach him plainly and simply."

Venerable Leo Dupont (1806 to 1876)
Known as Apostle Of The Holy Face
Besides promoting devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus Venerable Leo promoted Eucharistic Adoration just as vigorously. In 1849 he helped set up night Eucharistic Adoration in Tours France and had a strong desire that this be established in every parish throughout the world: "When shall we see Our Lord honored day and night in every parish through the Catholic world? I love to cherish the hope!" He often would go and help establish this nocturnal adoration at various parishes.

"How short, above all, seems the (Eucharistic Adoration) hour which has fallen to our lot!...Some (read books) or simply say their rosaries, but the greater number place themselves as suppliants at the feet of our Lord, speak to Him, and receive good thoughts from Him; these last find the hour exceedingly short."

"Yes, I am happy, perfectly happy; and do you wish to know where I find true happiness? At the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament,..."
(Source: I Thirst For Your Love! blog - https://mseagrif.com/)

"I would strongly urge that, even as the Magdalene anointed the Lord’s feet with tears and perfumed oil, you too would pour out the perfume of constant prayer and contemplation at the foot of the tabernacle. I should like the Eucharist to become a burning flame for your soul, so that, immersed in that flame, it might emerge burning with love and great-heartedness. I should like to see this eucharistic altar, on which Jesus is sacrificed, accept your offering too, so that you may become a victim of love, whose perfume rises to the throne of the Eternal God!"

St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier (1796 to 1868)
Founderess of the Sisters Of The Good Sheperd
"To speak of the Blessed Sacrament is to speak of what is most sacred. How often, when we are in a state of distress, those to whom we look for help leave us; or what is worse, add to our affliction by heaping fresh troubles upon us. He is ever there waiting to help us."
(Source: AnaStpaul blog - https://anastpaul.com/)

"The Blessed Sacrament is the first and supreme object of our worship. We must preserve in the depths of our hearts a constant and uninterrupted, profound adoration of this precious pledge of Divine Love."
(Source: AnaStpaul blog - https://anastpaul.com/)

"Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, devotion to the Blessed Virgin – these are three inseparable devotions we should lovingly cultivate and which will ensure the perfection of the good works we have undertaken as well as our eternal happiness."

"Draw near to our Lord, thoroughly aware of you own nothingness and you may hope all things from His Goodness and Mercy. Never forget that Jesus Christ is no less generous in the Blessed Sacrament than He was during His mortal life on earth."

Bl. Francis Xavier Seelos (1819 to 1867)
Religious, priest and missionary
Blessed Francis often visited the Blessed Sacrament especially as a priest when he often prayed long hours during the night. Known as the "cheerful aesthetic," he spent himself for souls, ministering to the sick and suffering.




St. Maria Michaela Desmaisieres (1809 to 1865)
Foundress of Handmaids Of The Blessed Sacrament And Of Charity
When volunteering to cover an hour of Eucharistic Adoration the Saints considered the most difficult hours the most rewarding and would stay in adoration as long as possible. St. Maria Michaela would spend entire nights in adoration before the Most Blessed Sacrament and became one of the Church's strongest promoters of Eucharistic Adoration.




Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman (1802 to 1865)

Fr. Frederick William Faber (1814 to 1863)
Theologian and famous Catholic author
"Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament is the queen of all devotions. It is the central devotion of the Church. All others gather round it, and group themselves there as satellites; for others celebrate his mysteries; this is Himself. It is the universal devotion. No one can be without it, in order to be a Christian. How can a man be a Christian who does not worship the living Presence of Christ?"

St. Gabriel Possenti (1838 to 1862)
Passionate Brother
"There is more sweetness in one hour of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament than in all the world's crowded theaters, and brilliant drawing rooms, and giddy diversions, and social gatherings."

"How much I love you, O my Jesus. I wish to love you with my whole heart; yet I do not love you enough. My lack of devotion and my sloth make me anxious. I have one desire, that of being near you in the Blessed Sacrament. You are the sweet bridegroom of my soul. My Jesus, my love, my all, gladly would I endure hunger, thirst, heat, and cold to remain always with you in the Blessed Sacrament."

Bl. Marie Rose Durocher (1811 to 1849)
Foundress of the Sisters Of The Holy Names Of Jesus And Mary
When we are puzzled or need some consolation in life where do we go? Blessed Marie Durocher's answer was to go before our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration. She would advise people to "Ask Our Lady to help you. Ask her to entreat her Son to let you know what you should do." Blessed Marie herself would spend many hours in adoration before our beloved Lord.




St. Marcellin Champagnat (1789 to 1840)
Founder of the Marist Brothers
"It is for us that, during eighteen hundred years, our divine Savior has remained day and night on our altars, that we may have recourse to Him in all our needs; and nothing so much afflicts His divine Heart as our ingratitude for such a favor, and our neglect to visit Him and ask His blessing."
(Source: St. Kieran Catholic Church 6/4/2012 bulletin – Click Here)

"If we knew how profitable those visits are, we should be constantly prostrate before the altar. The Saints understood this truth; they knew that Jesus Christ is the source of all grace, and whenever they encountered any difficulty or wished to obtain any particular favor, they ran to Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament."
(Source: Harvesting The Fruits of Contemplation blog – Click Here)

"St. Francis Xavier, St. Francis Regis and others spent whole hours during the day and, frequently, a great part of the night at the foot of the altar; it was in these long interviews with Jesus Christ that they advanced the good works they had in hand, converted sinners, and obtained success in all their undertakings for the glory of God and their own sanctification."

Bl. Anna Maria Taigi (1769 to 1837)
Mother and a great Mystic of the 19th Century
Anna Maria Taigi, one of the great mystics of the 19th century, achieved her sanctification by living the ordinary life of wife and mother in a spirit of Christian mission and compliance with God’s will. Her daily attendance at Mass and daily multiple visits to the most Blessed Sacrament were among the sources of her intense spiritual life.




Ven. Bruno Lanteri (1759 to 1830)
Priest and Founder of Oblates of the Virgin Mary
The Reverend Fr. Lanteri was very devoted to the Blessed Sacrament, and so always wanted it kept in the internal chapel of our house in Pinerolo, which was next to his own room. And in order to adore the Blessed Sacrament more frequently, he had a small window made from his room looking onto the altar of this chapel, and through it was in almost continual adoration during his last illness, since this window was situated directly in front of the bed where he lay.
(Source: Venerable Bruno Lanteri website - https://www.omvusa.org/bruno-lanteri/)

He (Ven. Bruno Lanteri) is irresistibly drawn to Christ in the Eucharist.  Devout celebration of Mass and the visit to the Blessed Sacrament were daily spiritual element of his entire life. As one disciple who knew him well affirms, “The vivacity of his faith was visible in the expression of his face as he spent long hours in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament where he often recited the Divine Office and meditated at length” (Positio, 621).  His years of forced exile from Turin (1811-1814) and the last months of his life (1830) were times of especially intense and almost uninterrupted Eucharistic adoration.

Bl. Domenico Lentini (1770 to 1828)
Italian Priest who was known as "An Angel of the Altar"
One of the easiest ways to go to Heaven is to spend much time in Eucharistic Adoration. All of the Saints knew this such as Blessed Lentini who would spend hours adoring the Blessed Sacrament besides saying Mass with great fervor. Your local Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration program needs you to follow Blessed Lentini's example of adoration and volunteer to cover an hour a week before our beloved Lord.

Blessed Lentini would spend long hours in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and celebrated the Eucharist with such intense participation that his contemporaries called him "an angel at the altar".

Bl. Mary Magdalene Of The Incarnation (1770 to 1824)
Foundress of the Perpetual Adorers Of The Blessed Sacrament
Blessed Mary Magdalene was called by Jesus directly when He told her, "I have chosen you to establish the work of perpetual adorers who, day and night, will offer me their humble adoration...". She spent her whole life adoring Jesus in the Eucharist. Can we also follow Jesus wishes and commit just one hour a week out of our lives in adoring our beloved Lord?

St. Anthony of Saint Ann Galvao (1739 to 1822)
Fransiscan Friar in Brazil renownwed for his healing powers
"Let us give thanks to God for the lasting benefits obtained through the powerful evangelizing influence that the Holy Spirit impressed upon so many souls through Frei Galvão. The Franciscan charism, lived out in the spirit of the Gospel, has borne significant fruits through his witness as an ardent adorer of the Eucharist, as a prudent and wise guide of the souls who sought his counsel, and as a man with a great devotion to the Immaculate Conception of Mary, whose "son and perpetual servant" he considered himself to be... When we contemplate the Lord at Mass, raised up by the priest after the consecration of the bread and wine, or when we devoutly adore him exposed in the monstrance, we renew our faith with profound humility, as Frei Galvão did in "laus perennis", in a constant attitude of adoration." (Pope Benedict XVI, May 11, 2007 homily during St. Anthony canonization)

"There is a mystery, the greatest of all mysteries—not that my adored Lord is in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar—His word has said it, and what so simple as to take that word which is truth itself?—but that souls of His own creation, whom He gave His life to save, who are endowed with His choicest gifts in all things else, should remain blind, insensible, and deprived of that light without which every other blessing is unavailing!"
