Thoughts and Counsels - August 22

One of the most admirable effects of Holy Com­munion is to preserve the soul from sin, and to help those who fall through weakness to rise again. It is much more profitable, then, to ap­proach this divine Sacrament with love, respect, and confidence, than to remain away through an excess of fear and scrupulosity.

-St. Ignatius
