What the Heart of Jesus Does and Says in the Tabernacle - Paperback

by St Manuel González García (Author)

St. Manuel González García, renowned as the Bishop of the Abandoned Tabernacle and acclaimed the greatest Eucharistic priest since the Curé of Ars, reflected: "I intend to awaken the curiosity, which in this case can truly be called holy, to understand and uncover what the Heart of Jesus in the Tabernacle does, says, and feels. I promise delightful surprises, invaluable discoveries, unimagined horizons, to those who allow themselves to be piqued by this curiosity."

Through these profound yet practical meditations, sometimes written from the perspective of Jesus speaking to you, you will be guided into deeper intimacy with our Eucharistic Lord and inspired to share His love with others. Through this refreshing and transformative experience, you will discover:

• Why the Gospels lead us to the tabernacle, and the tabernacle leads us to the Gospels
• The mission of those closest to Jesus in the Gospels and how to imitate them
• Greater fervor in receiving Holy Communion and praying in Eucharistic Adoration
• How Jesus is neither idle nor silent in His Eucharistic Presence
• The three ways the Heart of Jesus looks at souls -- and how He looks at you
• The secret to touching the Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament to receive healing

There is also a stirring section at the end of the book about what the Heart of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist says to priests.

St. Manuel tirelessly wrote these reflections, originally published as articles, to "preach to active souls the necessity, importance, and fruitfulness of staying in the tabernacle because the Love who dwells there is not loved but is abandoned!" St. Manuel will show you how to cultivate awe and reverence as you bask in our Lord's Eucharistic Presence and let His power permeate your life. As your love of Jesus' Eucharistic Heart deepens, you will learn how to console Him as He consoles you and be inflamed to offer your life in witness to your faith.

Above all, in the Holy Eucharist, you will encounter the Friend who always waits to listen to you with His Heart and always speaks to your heart. In the light of the tabernacle, you will learn how to grow in virtue, overcome temptation, and live without fear.

Author Biography

St. Manuel González García (1877-1940) was ordained a priest in 1901 and named bishop of Málaga, Spain, in 1920 and bishop of Palencia, Spain, in 1935. He helped found the Congregation of the Eucharistic Missionaries of Nazareth, the Disciples of Saint John, and the Children of Reparation. After his ordination, he was sent to preach at a church which he found to be unclean and abandoned. There, praying before a tabernacle covered in dust and cobwebs, with torn altar cloths and oil dripping onto the floor from the sanctuary lamp, he decided to dedicate his life to providing for Jesus' needs in the tabernacle. This poor, abandoned tabernacle taught the young priest more about the love of Jesus than all his years of theological study and marked his life from that moment forward. He dedicated himself until his death to spreading devotion to the Eucharist, proclaiming these words, which he would go on to choose for his epitaph: "Jesus is here! He is here! Do not abandon Him!"
