Christ is Really Present in the tabernacle, constantly praying for us, His arms out-stretched in prayer towards the Father above, Whom Christ sees dwelling in the glory which we cannot yet see. It is as if, when we pray, we kneel by Christ's pierced feet and rely on His merits, certain that the Father hears us, for His sake.

God is our origin, our Father, our Beloved, our Homeland, our Light and joy, our God: we dwell 'in' Him, in safety, when we are in a state of grace.
The Cross on which Christ died is a worthy and apt symbol for Christians: a symbol of the love which brought Him to earth, even to death, for our sakes; and of His power. He Who rose from the grave can raise us up as well.
God showed me how the greatest flame of charity burns in the heart of those who would bring faith and hope to tormented and tortured people - as well as physical help and healing.
Whoever adores Christ at Mass, and wants to remain with Him in spirit all day, can offer praise and thanks through Him to the Father all day, at work, as well as reparation for sin, and prayers for the needy
