Let Us give thanks on Solemnity of Corpus Christi for the Greatest Treasure of the Catholic Church.!

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

 OUR HIDDEN JESUS!

Above Photo Eucharistic Benediction at Fatima

The Children at Fatima often referred to Jesus in the Eucharist as the Hidden Jesus. Francisco knowing that he was going to die soon preferred to spend his school time praying to the “Hidden Jesus” in the Tabernacle. His great concern was to console His sorrowing Lord and the Heart of His Mother.

The following prayer of petition I came across to the Hidden Jesus is a beautiful testimony of love and devotion to the Hidden Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.  The author is unknown to me at this time. I wanted to post this for Corpus Christi to share these beautiful thoughts of Our Humble  Hidden God in the Blessed Sacrament. May these words prayed from loving hearts console our Hidden Lord and inflame our hearts to follow him wherever he goes!  If anyone recognizes the prayer and the Saint who composed the words please let me know.

O JESUS, HIDDEN GOD,
I CRY TO THEE!

O JESUS, HIDDEN LIGHT,

I TURN TO THEE!
O JESUS, HIDDDEN LOVE,
I RUN TO THEE!
WITH ALL THE STRENGTH
I HAVE, I WORSHIP THEE;
WITH ALL THE LOVE
I HAVE, I CLING TO THEE;
WITH ALL MY SOUL,
I LONG TO BE WITH THEE,
AND FEAR NO MORE TO FAIL,
OR FALL FROM THEE.

O JESUS DEATHLESS LOVE WHO SEEKEST ME,

THOU, WHO DIDST DIE FOR LONGING LOVE OF ME.

THOU, KING IN ALL THY BEAUTY COME TO ME,

AND GO NO MORE DEAR LORD AWAY FROM ME.

O GOD, MOST BEAUTIFUL,
MOST PRICELESS ONE;
O GOD, MOST GLORIOUS,
UNCREATED ONE:
O GOD, ETERNAL BEATIFIC ONE;
O GOD, O INFINITE AND HIDDEN ONE;
O GOD, IMMENSE, O GOD THE LIVING ONE;

THOU, WISDOM OF THE EVERLASTING ONE;

THOU, EVER LOVED, AND EVER LOVING ONE.

MAKE ME, O HOLY GOD THY TREASURED ONE;

MAKE ME, O GLORIOUS LOVE, THY PRECIOUS ONE;

MAKE ME, O HIGHEST GOOD, THY LONGING ONE;

MAKE ME, O BLESSED LIGHT, THY CHOSEN ONE;

MAKE ME, FOREVER MORE, THY LOVING ONE.

MY SOUL IS DARK, AWAY FROM THEE, MY OWN.

MY EYES ARE DIM IN SEEKING THEE, MY OWN

MY FLESH DOTH PINE AWAY FROM THEE, MY OWN.

MY HEART LEAPS UP WITH JOY TO THEE, MY OWN.

MY SPIRIT FAINTS RECEIVING THEE MY OWN.

WHERE, IN THE HEIGHT OF HEAVEN, IS LIGHT LIKE THEE?

WHERE, IN THE BREADTH OF HEAVEN, IS BLISS LIKE THEE?

WHERE, IN THE DEPTH OF HEAVEN, IS PEACE LIKE THEE?

WHERE, IN THE HOME OF LOVE, IS LOVE LIKE THEE?

 WITH ALL MY HEART I GIVE MYSELF TO THEE;

AND WAITING WAIT, O KING AND SPOUSE FOR THEE;

TILL I AM ONE FOREVER MORE WITH THEE.

O SWEETEST JESUS, BRING ME HOME TO THEE.

FREE ME, O DEAREST GOD, FROM ALL BUT THEE,

AND BREAK ALL CHAINS THAT KEEP ME BACK FROM THEE;

CALL ME. O THRILLING LOVE, I FOLLOW THEE;

THOU ART MY ALL, AND I HAVE NOUGHT FOR THEE.

O HIDDEN LOVE, WHO NOW ART LOVING ME.

O WOUNDED LOVE, WHO ONCE WAS DEAD FOR ME,

O SUN CROWNED LOVE, WHO ART ALIVE FOR ME.

O PATIENT LOVE, WHO WEARIEST NOT OF ME.

O BEAR WITH ME, TILL I AM LOST IN THEE.

O BEAR WITH ME, TILL I AM FOUND IN THEE.
