5. Each moment that we spend in His Eucharistic Presence will increase His Divine Life within us and deepen our personal relationship and friendship with Him: “I have come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.” “I am the Vine and you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in Him shall bear much fruit because without Me, you can do nothing.” (Jn 15:5)
6. Each hour we spend with Jesus will deepen His Divine Peace in our heart: “Come to Me all of you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you…” “Cast all of your anxieties upon the One who cares for you…” “My Peace is My Gift to you.” (Mt 11:28; 5:7)
