Manuel González García (1877–1940)
Bishop
Spanish bishop and great apostle of the Eucharist, Manuel González García dedicated his life to accompanying Jesus in the abandoned tabernacles.
Biography
An experience of prayer before a neglected tabernacle forever marked his priesthood. He founded the Work of the Marys of the Tabernacles and other branches of the Eucharistic Family, promoted schools and social works, and trained priests with the hearts of pastors. As bishop of Malaga he suffered persecution and exile, but he continued to serve with joy. He died asking to be buried next to a tabernacle.
Practical advice
Visit a tabernacle today, even for ten minutes, and introduce Jesus to a person who feels abandoned.
