Ah! how little is their love of God, how weak is their devotion, who so easily put off the sacred communion! How happy is he, and acceptable to God, who so lives and keeps his conscience in such purity, as to be ready and well-disposed to communicate every day, if it were permitted, and he might do it without being noticed.
-Bk. IV, ch. x.

During those long and trying weeks I had the unspeakable happiness of receiving Holy Communion every day. Even after the epidemic of influenza had ceased, I was still allowed to continue doing so for several months, although I had not asked for a privilege which was not granted to the rest of the Community.
