THE NOVENA TO MOTHER TERESA- DAY EIGHT Jesus made Himself the Bread of Life and the Hungry One Please share. All words below are from the novena leaflet, including the opening introduction. Before beginning, seek a silent place that will help you to pray, preferably in a church or chapel in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Create silence within yourself, for God is the friend of silence. He is always waiting for us in silen...ce- to... ...speak to us and to listen to us. In the silence of our hearts, God speaks of His love; with our silence, we allow Jesus to love us (Mother Teresa). Read some or all of the qoutes provided for the day and allow them to penetrate your heart. Stay with Mother Teresas words for a while and let one of the thoughts grow in your heart and accompany you throughout the day. Unite yourself with all your brothers and sisters throughout the world who are suffering in darkness and pain, then prayerfully recite the prayers to Blessed Mother Teresa. You may also make some concrete act of charity toward someone in your own family, community or neighbourhood as a way of living more profoundly the spirit and message of Mother Teresa during the Novena. Eight Day; Jesus made Himself the Bread of Life and the Hungry One He proved His love to us by giving His own life. His own being. He being rich became poor for you and for me. He gave Himself totally. He died on the Cross. But before He died He made Himself the Bread of Life to satisfy our hunger for for love, for Him. He said, Unless you eat My Flesh and drink My Blood you cannot have life eternal. And the greatness of that love of His made Him the hungry One, and He said, I was hungry and you fed Me, and unless you feed Me you cannot enter eternal life. That is the giving of Christ. And today God keeps loving the world. He keeps on sending you and me to prove that He loves the world, that He still has that compassion for the world. It is we who have to be His love, His compassion in the world of today. But to be able to love we must have faith, for faith in action is love, and love in action is service. That is why Jesus made Himself the Bread of Life, that we may be able to eat and live and be able to see Him in the distressing disguise of the poor. Our life must be woven with the Eucharist. From Jesus in the Eucharist we learn how much God thirsts to love us and how He thirsts for our love and for the love of souls in return. From Jesus in the Eucharist we receive the light and strength to quench His thirst. Thought for the day: Believe that He, Jesus, is in the appearance of Bread and that He, Jesus, is in the hungry, naked, sick, lonely, unloved, homeless, helpless and hopeless. Ask for the grace to see Jesus in the Bread of Life and to serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poor. Recite the Prayer to Blessed Teresa. Prayer to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (Prayed each day of the Novena) Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, you allowed the thirsting love of Jesus on the Cross to become a living flame within you, and so became the light of His love to all. Obtain from the Heart of Jesus (here make your request) Teach me to allow Jesus to penetrate and possess my whole being so completely that my life, too, may radiate His light and love to others. Amen Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for me. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta pray for me. Keep the joy of loving Jesus in your heart and say often during the day and night. Jesus in my heart I believe in your tender love for me. I love You. (Mother Teresa)
