"And since
so few people now hear the words, 'Come to Me, all you who labor and are
burdened,' let each of us, when he approaches the Holy Table, look upon
himself as the delegate of all those he loves or has loved, living or
dead.
When God makes His way into our souls, He does not find us alone.
All those from whom we proceed and who have gone to sleep before us may
receive, in Purgatory, some benefit of grace pervading us, their living
children, when we pray for them. And all our friends who are kept away
from the Source of grace by sin, indifference, ignorance, and
incredulity - those who have helped us and those we have harmed - are
present in our thoughts in this ineffable instant."
Francois Mauriac
