Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, September 11, 2009

Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood dwells in Me and I dwell in him.
-Jn 6:56

Reflection: If we were to receive the Most Blessed Sacrament with great faith and ardent love, it would take only one reception for us to become spiritually rich. By the same token, what an incalculable spiritual effect would a large number of such devout Communions have on us!
-St. Theresa of Avila

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to receive You in Communion with ever more faith and love. Let me strive to obtain the greatest spiritual benefits possible from each reception of this Blessed Sacrament.
