(Photo©Michael Seagriff) Mother Mary:… You receive in Communion the all-holy God, yet you yourself are far from holy. A single Communion should be enough to fill you with all the fervor of the saints, yet all your Communions leave you as cold as you were before You are always to some degree reserved in dealing with Jesus, though He does not hold back at all in heaping His blessings upon you. His presence when you have received Him indeed inspires in you great desires of virtue, and you promise Him much. But the desires and the promises soon fade. You would certainly not deal in this way with an important man of this world if he honored you with a visit. How aware you are of the gifts a friend gives you! How ready to thank him! Love cannot rest until it has found a way of expressing its gratitude.
