“My Jesus, let my heart sing out for joy, for
You dwell in it.
Let my mind be filled with heavenly thoughts
for Your Father desires to reign there. Let my soul be guided
by Your Spirit for He wishes to sanctify it.” - Mother Angelica
“I am a child of God through Baptism
and my
resemblance to Him
has grown stronger
through Holy Communion.
May I never forget my last Communion
and may my
heart yearn for the next one.
Somewhere, someplace
there is a Mass being said –
a Calvary to be
present at – a Communion to receive,
either
sacramentally or spiritually –
an opportunity
to be more like Jesus,
the privilege
of helping my neighbor, a time to say ‘I thank You, God’,
a situation to
choose Jesus over myself or a chance to make a sacrifice.”
