Although it be with lukewarmness, still approach Holy Communion, trusting in the mercy of God.  The more one feels himself sick, the greater need has he of a physician."

"The Eternal Father has made Jesus Christ the possessor of all His own heavenly treasures.  The Father has given all things into His hands.  Hence, when Jesus Christ comes to a soul in Holy Communion, He brings with Him boundless treasures of grace; and consequently after Commnion we can justly say, 'Now all good things came to me together with it.'"
