Does worrying about it, complaining about it, change it? Nope, it just wastes your time. And if you complain about it to other people, you're also wasting their time.

“The Blessed Sacrament is the magnet of souls. There is a mutual attraction between Jesus and the souls of men. Mary drew Him down from heaven.

Our love makes earth a paradise to Him; and our souls lure Him as gold lures the miser, with irresistible fascination”
