This
chapel, also called "The Chapel of the Eucharist",
stands on one side of the Vestry and the Liturgical
Hall. As its function is to lead man to God through
the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, its
interior design is meant to bring about spiritual
elevation. .
"Of
the virtue of religion, adoration is the main
act. Adoring God and recognising Him as God, as
the Creator and Saviour, Lord and Master of all
that exists, infinite and merciful Love. "Only
to the Lord God shall you prostrate yourself,
only Him shall you adore (Le 4,8), said Jesus,
quoting Deuteronomy" (n. 2628 Catechism of
the Catholic Church).
"Christ resolved to be present in His Church
in this quite unique way. Since He was about to
depart visibly from His dear ones, He donated
to us His sacramental presence; since He was in
the process of sacrificing Himself on the cross
for our salvation, He wanted us to have a memorial
of the love with which He loved us 'to the end',
up to the point where He gave His life for us.
In His eucharistic presence, in fact, He remains
mysteriously among us, and remains so in the form
of signs which express and communicate this love"
(n. 1380 CCC). .

"Let
us always trust in God, and may our lively faith and the comfort of Christian
hope assist us in this. We must pray continually, moreover, that peace may soon
smile on the nations. We should turn our thoughts to heaven, our true homeland,
of which our earthly country is but a dim image, and make every effort with the
divine assistance to preserve at all times, amidst happy or sad events, the cheerful
calm that becomes the true followers of the fair Nazarene" (Epist. I,
p. 596)
