MEMORY OF SAINT MARGARET MARY

16 OCTOBER

J.M.J.

Dear Father Thomas:

If you have the opportunity to to watch the play Les Miresables, please do it. I like more than Miss Saigon. Don't miss it. You know that lea Salonga is one of the artists that acts in the play and is fantastic. But the most important is that this classic of Victor Hugo, has a message that claims to be heard today.

Valijean is a poor jobless carpenter. His crime: having robbed a piece of bread to feed his hungry children. His sentence: five years in prison. When e tried to escape, is captured to serve the cruel government justice during fifteen years more. In the prison, is forgotten and abandoned by his loved ones.

Couldn't be this story of Jesus in the Holy sacrament? To fed spiritually to those hungered of His father, Jesus converts himself in the Living Bread. This is his 'crime'. He is not retributed with gratefulness and adoration. He is punished thrown in the prison of the sanctuary. There, in the cell, is forgotten and abandoned for his loved ones. We're ashamed and don't expose him. The monstrance is his throne, from where He wants to be liberated. He wants to be free, so He could reign as the King of Love. But, all the contrary, He's jailed and is treated as the criminal Valjean.

He describes himself as a Prisoner of Love.

My dear Thomas, there is nothing more exaggerated in what I say. All this is what Jesus himself revealed to to Saint Margaret Mary. She was praying when He appeared to her in the Holy Sacrament and said: "Here is the Heart that loves so much, and instead, is so little loved". He explained that the thorns surrounding his heart were a symbol of pain that He suffers for the ingratitude and indifference of his priests and his people to his love in the Holy Sacrament. Then, Jesus manifested that He suffered more for this indifference and ingratitud than what He suffered during his passion.

For this reason Jesus calls us to everyone of us to saying: "I thirst, a terrible thirst of being loved for you in the Holy Sacrament". The Holy Sacrament is the Sacred Heart of Jesus in our midst.

Today, He cries as He did for Jerusalem. How much He desires to bring us together in His Hear, as the hen gather his chicks under her wings!

Change his weeping for a smile, dear Thomas. Establish perpetual adoration in your parish and will change the thorns of his Heart into many flowers of comfort. Every holy hour will repair all the indifference and ingratitude of the world.

What a great grace!

Fraternally yours in His Eucharistic Love,

Mgr. Pepe
