List of points

Don't be so blind or so thoughtless as not to enter inside each Tabernacle when you glimpse the walls or spires of the houses of God. He is waiting for you.

Don't be so blind or so thoughtless as not to invoke Mary Immaculate with an ejaculation at least, whenever you pass near those places where you know that Christ is offended.

As you make your way through the familiar streets of the city, have you never had the joy of discovering… another Tabernacle?

It's true that I always call our Tabernacle Bethany… Become a friend of the Master's friends: Lazarus, Martha, Mary. And then you won't ask me any more why I call our Tabernacle Bethany.

Never speak badly of your brother, not even when you have plenty of reasons. Go first to the Tabernacle, and then go to the priest your father, and tell him also what is worrying you.

And no one else.

When you approach the Tabernacle remember that he has been awaiting you for twenty centuries.

There he is: King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, hidden in the Bread.

To this extreme has he humbled himself through love for you.

What a source of grace there is in spiritual Communion! Practise it frequently and you'll have more presence of God and closer union with him in your life.

Don't omit the visit to the Blessed Sacrament. After your usual vocal prayer, tell Jesus, really present in the Tabernacle, of the cares and worries of your day. And you will receive light and strength for your life as a Christian.

I know you will be glad to have this prayer to the holy guardian Angels of our Tabernacles:

O Angelic Spirits that guard our Tabernacles, wherein lies the adorable treasure of the holy Eucharist, defend it from profanation and preserve it for our love.

Child, don't lose your loving habit of 'storming' Tabernacles.

You think there is something wrong because, in your thanksgiving after Communion, the first thing you find yourself doing, without being able to help it, is asking: Jesus, give me this: Jesus, that soul: Jesus, that undertaking…

Don't worry, and don't try to force yourself: when the father is good and the child simple and daring, don't you see how the little lad puts his hand into his father's pocket, looking for sweets, before greeting him with a kiss? Well then…

If you live the 'life of childhood', you should have the sweet tooth of a child, a 'spiritual sweet tooth!' Like those 'of your age', think of the good things your Mother keeps.

And do so many times a day. It just takes a moment… Mary… Jesus… the Tabernacle… Communion… Love… suffering… the blessed souls in purgatory… those who are fighting: the Pope, the priests… the faithful… your soul… the souls of your people… the guardian Angels… sinners…
