“When you receive Communion, remember that the Eucharist is the radiant fullness of God Himself. Jesus enters you completely.

He gives Himself to you generously. He is strengthening, transforming and transfiguring you. He is arming you with His presence, so that wherever you go, you will radiate God to all you meet.

You will radiate Him sometimes in silence, in hiddenness and sometimes with words of consolation, encouragement and hope to those whose faith has dimmed.

Go to every Eucharist like it was your first and your last. Go with the faithful expectancy that God’s healing power which is the strength of His own presence will enter you.”
