Episode 88 -- Spiritual Combat c54.2 -- The moment of Communion and After Communion

What are some good thoughts at the moment of Communion and then after receiving?

The second and third sections of Chapter 54 of the Spiritual Combat give advice on what to be praying about just before receiving Communion, and then in our time after communion.

Last episode we read about various ways to prepare for Holy Communion.

1. Cleanse ourselves: if we have committed a mortal sin, let us go to confession.

2. Offer Ourselves: let us offer all our faculties and all the good we have done to the Lord in response to his great gift. He is offering us all that He is and all that He has done for us.

3. Meditate: Let us think over, ponder, consider, meditate on the fact that Christ has an ardent desire to join himself with us to help us in the spiritual combat. He wants to help us overcome our sins.
