"By receiving Jesus Christ in Holy Communion we receive an abundance of graces; by receiving Jesus Christ we receive the source of every blessing.  Those who receive Jesus Christ feel their faith strengthened, and they are more thoroughly impregnated with the truths of their holy religion; they realize more clearly the enormity and the danger of sin; the thought of judgment frighten them more; the misfortune of the loss of God is more perceptible to them.  In holy communion our courage is fortified; we are strong to combat, our actions are guided by purer motives, our charity increases more and more.  The thought that we carry Jesus in our hearts, the rapture which we experience at that blissful moment, unites and bind us so much with God that our heart thinks of and desire but God alone.  This, dear brethren, is one of the effect which Holy Communion produces in us, if we are so happy as to receive Jesus Christ worthily."  St. John Vianney
