2021-06-08

If our desire is to grow in love by receiving Holy Communion, what should we do once we have received? At the conclusion of chapter 55, Fr Scupoli offers some suggestions for how to pray after receiving Communion. He focuses on our need to speak to Christ Himself. He proposes that we ask Him a question: What has brought Thee to me? Our Lord gives a one word answer. From that answer, a dialogue begins. Fr Scupoli also suggests that we turn to God the Father in thanksgiving.

We saw last episode that we must have great confidence as we approach Communion. If we have repented of our mortal sins in confession and hate sin, let us not allow our fears to hold us back. Let us approach the Lord with great confidence. He is the one that makes us worthy. He is the one that can cleanse us more and more.
