Reflection on the Eucharistic Reign in the Era of Peace
By Rev. John B. Wang, Ph.D., J.U.D.
At Fatima, our Blessed Mother said, in the end, Her Immaculate Heart will
triumph and a Period of Peace will be granted to mankind. Through additional
heavenly communications, we now have more knowledge about this promise from the
Mother of God. We know it will take place through a special divine intervention,
by an extraordinarily powerful action of the Holy Spirit, to regenerate the
human race: to make us child-like, innocent and pure, to purify us as gold is
refined in fire. This divine action will be a Baptism of Fire, extirpating from
the earth and burning, to the root, all evil. It will act like a violent torrent
of cleansing waters, washing away filth and sweeping away all iniquity,
perversion and evil, all that is false and fake. It will be a strong action of
Divine Love, Mercy, and Justice. The end result of this process will be an era
of peace, glory, holiness, unity, harmony, soundness, gentleness, joy,
truthfulness, and goodness. This will be the fullness of the coming of Gods
Kingdom on Earth: a Kingdom of justice, peace, happiness and love, with one
flock under one Shepherd. This is the Great Return, the Rebirth, the Call of the
Shepherd, the New Pentecost, the Second Advent, or the New Spiritual Springtime,
shining with a brilliant light. Together with mankind, all of creation will be
renewed. New Heavens will be inside us. Although we will still be on earth, our
minds will be in heaven glorifying our Trinitarian Holiness. Our lives will be
lived according to the Divine Mind. Our thoughts and words will be in tune with
Gods Will, in union with the Most Holy Trinity. As a matter of precaution, lets
be aware that this Period of Peace, announced by our Lady at Fatima in 1917, has
nothing to do with millenarianism or the Chiliastic belief of the first century.
The main focus of this blessed period is the great triumph of the Eucharistic
Reign. Today, in most places, the Eucharistic reign of Jesus is not recognized.
Non-Christian worshipers do not adore Jesus. Most Christian denominations have
no tabernacle in their churches. In the Catholic Church, our Eucharistic Lord is
often relegated to a dark corner, where He is ignored, neglected, and not shown
proper respect. At times, the consecrated host is treated as a piece of bread.
Holy communion is received with no reverence. There are instances in which the
most Holy Eucharist is even trampled, profaned and desecrated! Attempts have
been made to suppress the Perpetual Sacrifice. Our Lord Jesus in the Holy
Eucharist is grieved, offended, and deeply abused. The Eucharistic King and,
therefore, His reign is not duly acknowledged.
When the Triumph of the Twin Hearts comes, the Eucharistic Jesus will be
glorified as the center of our life and the summit of all humanity. He will
always occupy the central position of the churches, placed on the throne as the
King of kings and Lord of the lords to be, loved, adored, worshiped, reverenced,
thanked, praised, visited and honored, both privately and publicly. He will be
rendered the cult of latria. He will, truly, reign. Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament will be the Spiritual Sun dispersing the darkness of human ignorance
and religious errors. There will no atheists, agnostics and heretic dissenters.
The Truth will be followed. The Blessed Sacrament will also be a tremendous
source of energy transforming us to be like Jesus in humility, meekness, purity
and innocence. We will be pure, like a child and like Jesus, who has always
retained His child-like purity. The Eucharistic Jesus will abundantly nourish
our minds, our souls, and our hearts with many graces and gifts. He will free us
from every form of physical, spiritual and moral slavery. As a result of our
sound mental health and by the healing power of the Holy Eucharist, even our
physical health will be improved with longer life span and less disease.
Encounters with our Eucharistic Lord, through Holy Communion, will sustain us in
strength, joy and bliss, day after day. There will be an intimate union between
Jesus and us and, therefore, between us and the Most Holy Trinity because where
Jesus is, there is the Most Holy Trinity, accompanied by all the angels and
saints. Is this Heaven on earth? Yes, I think you can say so.
Our Heavenly Father is alarmed at our present sad state. He cannot stand by
watching His children perish. He is coming to our rescue. He is coming soon. He
will release His Eucharistic power to purify, sanctify, heal, strengthen,
illuminate, nourish, guide, unite and bind us. As it is recorded in Deuteronomy
30, 11-14: "For this command which I enjoin on you today is not too mysterious
and remote for you. It is not up in the sky, that you should say, Who will go up
in the sky to get it for us and tell us of it, that we may carry it out? Nor is
it across the sea, that you should say, Who will cross the sea to get it for us
and tell us of it, that we may carry it out?No, it is something very near to
you, already in your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out."
The appointed time of His special intervention is near so let us heed Revelation
3, 3: "Remember then how you accepted and heard; keep it, and repent. If you are
not watchful, I will come like a thief, and you will never know at what hour I
will come upon you."
