“O Jesus when I receive Thee in my heart, I become like a tabernacle which contains the Blessed Sacrament. How chaste my body should be! How can I defile my soul with impure thoughts and desires, much less with sinful actions?

Make my words and conversations clean, kind and proper, for my tongue touches Thy most pure Body and serves as a paten on which Thou dost rest. I beg Thee to remain close to me when I am tempted; do not permit any serious sin ever to separate me from Thee.”

(Father Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D. from A Novena of Communions)
