“When we receive Holy Communion, we become ‘living temples of the Most Blessed Trinity,’ as St. Therese of Lisieux said. The Blessed Trinity resides physically within our bodies for about fifteen minutes after we receive Holy Communion. For this reason, the Church encourages the faithful to remain in prayerful adoration and thanksgiving for this length of time after the reception of Holy Communion. Those minutes are the most precious moments of our earthly lives; it is then that we are physically united with the Blessed Trinity, a union that we can attain in no other way.”
