Be Eucharistic Souls Through Adoration

St. Thomas More realized that his doom was sealed when he was called to testify before the Lambeth tribunal. He bade farewell at home to the people of his household because he did not want them to follow him to the wharf as was their custom. Only his son-in-law William Roper and his favorite daughter Margaret accompanied him on the final shore journey, together with a few servants. Everyone aboard the upstream ferry was silent. After a while More whispered in the ear of Roper: son Roper, I thank our Lord, the field is won. Roper later wrote that he did not comprehend the meaning of these words. With the passing of time he came to understand that More’s faith had given him the confidence of victory over any obstacle. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that we seek to be close toJesus, to be Eucharistic souls, the Lord will watch over us as a hen gathers her brood. We too can be strengthened in the knowledge that the field is won.

Be a Eucharistic soul! If the center around whichyour thoughts and hopes turn is the Tabernacle, Then, my child, how abundant the fruits of your sanctity and apostolate will be.

St. Thomas More
