Reflection - 54

There is no gift on earth like Holy Communion, because in this sacrament of love we receive Jesus Christ’s Body, Blood and Divinity-into our hearts. Holy Communion is the spiritual life of our soul; it is its very food. This is why we ought to receive it often. And for those seeking sanctity, Holy Communion is the most powerful means to attain it, for what can be more sanctifying?

 Indeed let us frequently receive Jesus’ love feast to get His very special graces. Let’s unite ourselves daily to the Divine Guest of our souls whom we hope to enjoy forever in paradise after this life is over.

v When we miss one Holy Communion, we miss a personal visit with Jesus, author of all spiritual energy and of all holiness.

v We lose a special increase of sanctifying grace, which makes our soul more pleasing to God.

v We lose sacramental graces, which entities us to special help in times of temptation and in the discharge of our duties.

v  We lose a precious opportunity of having all our venal sins wiped away.

v We lose the spiritual joy, the sweetness and particular comfort that come from a fervent Holy Communion.

v At the hour of our death our greatest consolation will be the holy communions that we have received in our life.
