THE WAY OF PURIFICATION... AFTER CONVERSION... Invitation to Holy Communion
THE WAY OF PURIFICATION
AFTER CONVERSION
CHAPTER 37
Invitation to Holy Communion
Christ,
My , often fonder My words: “Come all you labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you.” These are My words, and you ought to receive them gratefully and faithfully. They are Mine because I spoke them; but they are also yours, because they were spoken for your salvation. Receive them joyfully from My lips. Let them be deeply carved upon your heart. In these holy words, you see My loyal and tender consideration for you, do not let your conscience stop you from rushing into My arms, I know how unworthy you are of My friendship, bur I love you in spite of that.
2. In spite of your nothingness and your sins, I command you to approach Me with confidence. It is actually My Will that you should receive Me, the Food of Immortality. Through this heavenly Food, which is truly My own Body and Blood, you shall gain unending life and eternal glory. I say, “Come, all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you!” These are consoling words in the ear of a sinner. I, your Lord and God, invite poor and needy you to receive My holy Body. Do not say, “Who am I, that should presume to approach You?” I command you to come and receive Me, for without Me you are lost.
3. Prepare your soul with confession, if necessary, and with prayers. Then approach My altar with confidence and with a burning desire to please Me in your daily life.
