Holy Communion

Holy Communion is to be my strength.

(Inspirations)

Go to the Lord Jesus with trust and love, yet do not seek consolations – they pass away quickly; pay no attention to them. In Holy Communion, seek rather strength and courage to conquer yourself in everything, to preserve the Rule perfectly, and to surrender to the will of God entirely. The empowerment derived from the Eucharistic Table is that later we face without hesitation whatever is costing us. The fruit of a frequent Holy Communion should be improvement out of errors and the valiant practice of the virtues of humility, obedience, love, etc.

Holy Communion influences the conversion of thoughts, feelings, will, and strengthens the will in its pursuit of the good. When the Lord Jesus begins to take action, slowly and imperceptibly, we notice that our feelings and thoughts become transformed, purified. It is solely God who can efficaciously ennoble our interior.

(Inspirations)

Right after Holy Communion, allow the good Lord to be active in your souls. Make efforts to keep your mind in reverent silence while your heart unites with Him in a loving conversation.
