Eucharistic Reflection - Let Not The Fire Be Extinguished

"Regarding the Sacrament of the Eucharist, God the Father told Catherine of Siena:

You personally participate in this light, that is, in the grace which you receive in this Sacrament, according to the holy desire with which you dispose yourselves to receive it. He who should go to this sweet Sacrament in the guilt of mortal sin will receive no grace, though he actually receives the whole of God and the whole of Man. Do you know the condition of the soul who receives unworthily? She is like a candle on which water has fallen which can do nothing but crackle when brought near the flame, for no sooner has the fire touched it than it is extinguished, and nothing remains but smoke."
