Jesuit On Holy Communion

If the sight of our sins tends to keep us away from daily Communion, the confidence of finding in it a remedy for all our evils ought to make us hunger for it, profoundly convinced that if we are unworthy of the favour the help is essential for us, otherwise I do not see who could communicate even once a year.

And there are some who keep away and do themselves great harm ; the reason of their mistake is that they only look at the excellence of the Sacraments, then they think they must be holy before they approach them, instead of reflecting that it is the Sacraments which make the soul holy.

Thus in trying to avoid pride they fall into it, because when at last they come to Communion they judge themselves worthy to participate.
