Eucharistic Reflection - It Is A Privilege Not To Be Taken For Granted!

"There are no words to describe the privilege which I grant you in Holy Communion. Avoid routine. Never become so accustomed to receiving Me that you lose your appreciation of this privilege. Try to make every reception a grand occasion. Do it by putting variety in your preparation and thanksgiving. Do not always say the same prayers, nor always follow the same method. One day meditate on My words or your daily life. On another day say vocal prayers or read prayer books.  At another time sing hymns within your mind. Use variety and you will never fall into the dull rut of routine.

Do not let the thought of your unworthiness hold you back from Holy Communion. Think only of this, that I want you to receive Me because you need Me. For this reason, I command you to come to Me. If it were strictly a matter of worthiness, no one could ever receive Me."

(Father Anthony J. Paone, S.J. from My Daily Bread)
